Our story
Vrises Agiou Vasileiou, built on the northeastern slopes of Mount Sideroto at an altitude of about 550 metres, is one of the most authentic and historic villages of southern Crete. It lies just 36 kilometres from Rethymno, on the road to Agia Galini, and takes its name from the natural springs whose abundant water has flowed in and around the village for centuries.
