Rent a holiday apartment in Episkopi

If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Episkopi, you can choose between a stay with a village character and a more tourist-oriented base in the surrounding area. Episkopi is located in the Rethymno area of Crete, Greece. The place is described as a small, traditional village with narrow streets and a central square. The small village centre is described as having traditional tavernas, mini-markets and cafés around the square. This allows you to align your accommodation search with village life, days on the coast and excursions in the surrounding area.

Putting Episkopi near Rethymno into context

Episkopi was the seat of the former municipality of Lappa and has belonged to the municipality of Rethymno since 2011. For regional orientation, you can also look at Rethymno and compare the location as part of your travel planning.

Village life, the coast and excursions

The area around the central square is described as having the character of a local meeting place with traditional cafés. The wider surroundings of Episkopi are also associated with vineyards and olive groves. This gives the choice of location a clear focus on everyday village life and the regional landscape.

For families who would like to combine days at the beach with excursions, the location is particularly important when searching for accommodation. Episkopi Beach is in the wider surroundings of the village and should not be confused with the village centre. Argyroupolis is also close to Episkopi and is associated with waterfalls and lush vegetation. Lake Kournas is described as a natural freshwater lake in the wider surrounding area.

Which base suits your travel plans?

Episkopi is more associated with a village character. Georgioupolis and Kavros are described as being more tourist-oriented and offering more nightlife in the surrounding area. When searching, it is therefore worth comparing accommodation in the traditional village centre with a more tourist-oriented base in the surrounding area: the deciding factor is whether village life or additional tourist infrastructure is your priority.
