To the interior of the ground floor beside an original alcove/archway is a comfortable dining/living area. From here a metal staircase leads to the upper level which has an open plan sleeping area and a second lounge area. Sliding doors open to a small balcony that overlooks the village and has a wonderful view of the sunsets over the coastline and the village of Sellia opposite. A bathroom including a shower and washing machine is at the back of the house. From the upper level, a second door opens to a pathway to the rear of the building. Located 36km south of the city of Rethymno, Mirthios sits behind Plakias at 210m above sea level. Many houses in this upper part of the village have been renovated resulting in a pleasant neighbourhood. Very popular with visitors during the summer season the tavernas provide a variety of delicious specialties and a few choice shops offer locally sourced goods.
