21 Πλ. Αγνώστου ΣτρατιώτηNeighborhoods
The Infinite is set upon a hill in the quiet residential neighbourhood of Andrea Papadaki, in the area of Agios Markos. We are only :
- 1.5km from the beach (3 mins by car, 15 mins on foot but a brisk walker could pull it off in 10 mins!)
- 8 mins by car from Rethymno town.
There are plenty of bakeries and local tavernas for those lazy summer days when venturing off on a new adventure seems too much work. Taverna Zisis & Taverna Klimataria are two traditional Cretan tavernas. Bakeries include Mikrasiatiko and Choriatiko (all again around 1.5km from the Villa). The nearest supermarket (Pavlakis- Παυλακης) is also a 15 min walk from us, just a little further down from Taverna Klimataria.
