Rapaniana Resort

The Rapaniana resort is a very small and calm place, perfect for all searching for peace and comfort. The resort is in fact one of the smallest on the whole Crete - you will find there only a few hotels, a pension here and there, some tavernas, a bar, and that is all. 

Rapaniana is a soothing place already by its look. Its gardens are full of green vegetation and trees, and so, the resort looks civilized, on the other hand, the wide and sand and pebble beaches stretching to the distance pass smoothly into a plain grassy surface, emphasizing the peace and loneliness of the palce. The local beaches are fully equipped and therefore also suitable for families with children or people with movement disbilities.
