The Liostasi private villa in Crete, Rethymnon is an ideal choice for alternative tourism in one of the most beautiful nature spots of western Crete. The villa is located within an area of exceptional natural beauty, near the historic monastery of Arkadi, approximately 1500m north of the traditional village of Amnatos.  The Liostasi villa is a new country house built inside an olive grove of 4 thousand square meters, adjacent to a small ravine.

The villa can accommodate up to ten people. It is ideal for families and friends who wish to have their vacations close to nature and want to relax away from the bustling urban centers. The villa exemplifies alternative tourism, specifically agrotourism. It is close to or within a short distance from the sites of the broader area, also to beaches and the town of Rethymnon.
