A beautiful golden sand beach, probably the best in the prefecture, stretches for many kilometers and is only 2,3 km away from the village.
The name Episkopi means bishopric or diocese and is common to many villages in Crete that housed at one time the bishop’s offices. The religious past of the area is obvious to visitors as there are many old churches, some of them with remarkable frescoes. The village, also known as "Megali Episkopi" during the Middle Ages acquired the name "Kalamon". After the tribulations during the Arabic times, the need for education and culture grew rapidly and carried through during the Venetian and Turkish occupations. The village is fairly old; it exists from the second Byzantine period i.e. 961 a.d. and is mentioned in the archives as having 446 inhabitants before 1583. Now there are 900 and their main occupation, as then, is agriculture, producing mainly olive oil. Due to its geographical location, between Apokoronas and Rethymno, it used to be in the past and especially during the Turkish occupation, the scene of numerous battles. This apartment 1A in Episkopi, Rethymnon is an attractive ground floor apartment with an open plan kitchen and lounge area, two bedrooms, a bathroom and 2 spacious verandas.
