Near Rethymnon, the Pirgos Tower is a building of exceptional architecture built by the Venetians and officially recognised as a historical preserved building.

All the rooms are traditionally built with stone walls, a wooden roof of cypress ledger boards, handmade furniture, carefully chosen decoration, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, A/C, central heating and electronic equipment. Pirgos offers a unique setting for a memorable holiday on Crete.
