Location - Rental Potential

Taking its name from the Armenian soldiers who fought for its liberation under Nikoforos Fokas in 961, the picturesque village of Armeni stands some 10.5 km south of Rethymno in a valley at an altitude of 380 meters amidst many vineyards and olive groves. Its location renders it an ideal, serene base for exploring both the northern and southern parts of Crete.

Such properties are an ideal choice if you are looking for a combination of private use and rental or if you are interested in investing in a property to generate additional rental income. Crete has the longest holiday season of all the Greek islands and is very popular for villa rentals from early April to November. The villa is ready for rental as it can use the services of a professional local management and maintenance firm.
