Argyroupoli: The Hidden Paradise of Rethymno

ABOUT

With its running waters and charming waterfalls, Argyroupoli is situated on the grounds of ancient Lappa, one of Crete's most significant cities in antiquity. Here, a vibrant green landscape and flourishing vegetation create a unique atmosphere rarely found in a Cretan village. This traditional haven boasts exceptional natural wealth, inviting visitors to explore the old mills and the Church of the Five Virgins.

Argyroupoli serves as the starting point for hiking trails leading to Lake Kournas, the seaside village of Georgioupolis, and the mouth of the Almyros River, offering breath-taking views of the snow-covered White Mountains throughout the year.

The village square is dotted with charming tavernas, known as 'hot spots,' and before departing, don't forget to grab carob rusks from local shops – a delightful memento of your time in this secret paradise.
