Location Overview
Marion La Lumiere Residence is located right on the beach, in the picturesque Petres area 15 km west of Rethymnon town. There are two local restaurants near the residence, where you can enjoy local hospitality and food. One tavern is 20 meters away from the villa and the other 100 meters away. The sandy organised beach of Petres is also within walking distance. Also, at a distance of 1.5 km and 4.5 km there are 2 pharmacies.
In addition, the beach of Episkopi is also located really close, just 3 minutes away by car, or 20 minutes walking distance, in a fertile valley with lowlands. It is a long beach, which is sandy and shallow, like most beaches of Northern Crete. It is very well organised, since there are many hotels, restaurants, taverns, bars and all the amenities one could need. In the western part of the beach you can find places with lifeguards, showers, changing rooms, umbrellas, snack bars, water sports, etc. However, given its large size, you can certainly find a quiet spot, especially in the eastern part. Lastly, at the beginning of the beach on the east side there is an opportunity for naturism.
Also in Rethymno town, just 15 minutes away by car from the Villa, you can find everything that you might need like shops, bakeries, grocery stores, butcher’s, taverns, cafes, supermarkets, ATM machines, pharmacies, gas stations, post office, as well as the long sandy beach of Rethymno. Further, there is a selection of cafes and excellent tavernas, some of them overlooking the harbour or the sea, which offer a warm welcome and a beautiful setting to enjoy some traditional Cretan food, fish as well as international dishes.
*Car Rental is essential to explore the nearby villages and unique sandy beach locations!
