Rethymnon villa holidaymakers can take advantage of early Spring conditions to enjoy beautiful walks in the magnificent Cretan countryside.
Crete is an absolutely wonderful island for walking due to its mountainous terrain and dramatic limestone gorges. In the winter many of the mountains are covered in snow and some lingers on into the Spring.
Towards the end of April many of the Cretan walks become accessible and there is a profusion of wild flowers to enjoy along with the incredible scenery. Big mountains with a touch of snow and crystal clear seas can be quite breathtakingly beautiful and you can enjoy them in western Crete at your leisure.
Holiday villas in Rethymnon, Crete, are available at very reasonable prices in late April and May. From your holiday villa base you can enjoy wonderful walks either with a local guide or on your own depending upon the difficulty and on other days relax by the pool or on the beach or explore the delights of Rethymnon.
There is much to be said for taking a guide as there are many mythical tales and a great deal of history to be discovered in the countryside around Crete, with many a cave said to have been inhabited by gods. You can read up on these things but the local guides are well versed in bringing such things to life in an amicable manner.
