Spili

Located at the foot of the Vorizis mountain and just 30 km south of Rethymnon, Spili village is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With an altitude of 430 m and a population of less than a thousand residents, this charming village offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. However, during summer, the town transforms into a hot spot for tourism. Despite its small size, Spili boasts a favorable geographical position, resulting in a well-developed infrastructure that includes banks, supermarkets, shops, medical centers, and police stations. One of the village's most famous areas is Kefalovrisi, located in the center of Spili. Here, visitors can explore the beautiful fountain avenue lined with sycamore trees, and 25 fountains in the shape of lion's heads that offer a constant supply of cool drinking water. The lush vegetation of Spili owes its beauty to the full-flowing mountain rivers and streams that support its flora and fauna. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Spili promises to deliver a memorable experience. So, pack your bags and get ready to explore Spili in Rethymnon.
