Pools are great fun in the summer

Crete is surrounded by sea and Cretan beaches are second to none. Even so, it’s great to have a swimming pool to rest and relax when all you want to do is enjoy a lazy day. You can take a swim early in the morning to invigorate yourself or watch the sunset late in the afternoon while swimming in your pool.

In addition, kids love swimming pools and can spend all day there. They can dive, splash, and have fun in and around the swimming pool for hours.

Adults love swimming pools, too. Sometimes you simply can’t bring yourself to taking the car and driving to the nearest beach. A swimming pool is a perfect way to refresh during a hot day without any effort at all. Take a book, drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice, and enjoy everything that your Rethymno villa has to offer.

A swimming pool is also the ideal place for a hearty Cretan breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Take in the views, the scents of Cretan herbs, and the gentleness of the morning dew while sipping your morning coffee, or enjoy a candlelit dinner prepared by yourself or an experienced chef and sit around the pool to eat, talk, and laugh. The memories you build will stay with you forever.
