TO SEE
During your stay at Cuava Villa in Bali, there are several must-see attractions and natural wonders to explore. Begin with a visit to the village’s scenic beaches, such as Livadi, Varkotopos, and Karavostasi, each offering crystal-clear waters and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. For a more adventurous experience, visit the nearby Melidoni Cave, a fascinating natural cave with historical significance. Just a short drive away is the historic Arkadi Monastery, a symbol of Crete’s resistance during the Ottoman era, where you can delve into the island’s rich cultural heritage. Finally, take in the panoramic views of the Cretan Sea from the local harbor, where fishing boats gently bob on the water, adding to Bali’s charming atmosphere.
TO DO
Bali has a wide selection of local restaurants & bars to enjoy during your stay. All those options and many more are just a few minutes walk from your holiday home, so feel free to dine & drink away. Many more wonderful restaurants are available to explore in Rethymno City (around 25 minutes driving distance from your villa) and we remain at your disposal to recommend you only the very best. Must see during your stay, is a visit to Rethymno Old Town, to explore the castle and the old town shopping paths.
