👍👍 Great museum, a must see when you are visiting this region! The owner has a great collection which took him over 30 years to gather and of which he likes to talk and show a lot! Expect a classroom style room, filled with cabinets of stones, bones and fossiles. In front of a whiteboard, he will tell...

👍👍 So much history here, enough to return any adult back to their childhood. This is our 3rd visit and the collection grows each year. The owners are a delight too. There are a few rare toys for sale and some home crafted items, ideal for gifts. Well worth a visit.

👍👍 A small gem 15 min outside Rethymno city. Under mulberry trees that offer great shadow for the hot summer it is a perfect place to try delicious dishes. For sides, we tried the local cretan rusk with tomato and feta which was Amazing and the eggplant which was super sweet. Plain Apaki but also the...
