Looking for a Small Studio in Crete Village

by Eliz
(U.K.)

I am in my mid-seventies, and would like to spend 3 to 4 weeks in Crete.

I am looking for a small studio flat in Margarites Village, Rethymnon or a similar village.

I do not drive, therefore, would have to depend on buses.

Do you have any suggestions as to who to contact in this regard?

Lovely Homes in Small Villages

Hi Eliz,

It sounds like you have a wonderful visit to Crete planned. There is nothing like living in a village to really get to know the area and the people. Margarites is a beautiful village with lots going on and close to Rethymnon town, just 25 km. Yes, you can take the bus there very easily.

Village House – Margarites Village
We suggest you contact Rosette who owns a small home in the village. Here it is on the internet with a few pictures and some very good reviews, this is a two bedroom home which actually sleeps 5 people, so it might be a bit too big for your needs. I am sure you could ask Rosette for a special price for your long stay. Village House – Margarites

Eva's House – Margarites Village
You could also contact Kostas who has a lovely traditional house named "Eva's House" in the village of Margarites. He rents it out through Airbnb: Details about Eva's House, this lovely home sleeps 5, however you could ask for a special price too.






Charming Room – Pigi Village
