Gerani is a small, typically Cretan village with crooked lanes. It stands on a hill above a small bay, some 7 kms west of the town center of Rethymnon on the island of Crete. The small swimming-bay beneath the village has a pebbled beach, a tiny fishing-port, a small church and a popular taverna. Just 5 kms west, the bridge over Petres river marks the easternmost edge of one of Crete's most beautiful sandy dream beaches. It spreads over a distance of 11 kms along the Almirou Bay via Kavros till Georgioupolis and gives home to all kinds of watersports, and a dive center. The villa is located on a slope above the village and enjoys particularly beautiful views of the small bay of Gerani, and the Aegean Sea. The large property is framed by walls of natural stone, and the villa's garden has natural stone walls as well. Two times per day a public bus serves the village. From the motor highway beneath the village hourly public bus service to Rethymnon and Iraklion (88 kms) as well as to Hania (55 kms). A rented car is however advisable as the villa is located roughly 1 km from the village center, and 2 kms from the motor highway. Iraklion airport is 94 kms away, Hania airport 60 kms. With respect to the winding character of the motor highway, transfer times from and to the airports must not be underestimated.
