Mariou: A Village with a View
ABOUT
Mariou, a small village in southern Crete, is perched just 30 kilometers from Rethymno. According to local tradition, the village takes its name from a shepherdess named Mario from Sfakia. Its location offers spectacular views of the Libyan Sea, making it a popular stop for travelers heading to the renowned beaches of Plakias or Rodakino.
Among the highlights of the village is the celebrated Mariou Taverna, famed for its unbeatable vistas and delicious local dishes. It's a must-visit for anyone in the area.
Equally noteworthy is the Church of Agios Onoufrios, a true gem of simplicity and natural beauty. Its unassuming facade hides a unique interior, nestled within a rocky hollow at the base of a steep limestone slope.
