Property information

Welcome to Antama! Our newly restored 19th century stone house has been refurbished with lots of care and attention to detail, in order for our guests to get an authentic taste of Cretan country life in an off-the-beaten-path destination. Our property is located in Melidoni, a village of great historical significance to locals, 30 kilometres away from Rethymno (one of Crete’s four main cities), which preserves its traditional atmosphere and character to this day. After lots of consideration and brain-storming, we decided to call our house “Antama”, meaning “together”, in honour of all those people that, throughout Antama’s long history, have sat around the table in the courtyard to eat and drink, distilled raki inside the “fabrika” (the adjacent building, once a workspace and mill), or shared the water from the blessedly full well.

Neighbourhood information

In the hilly outskirts of Rethymno, well protected from the hustle and bustle of the city and surrounded by olive groves is the traditional village of Melidoni, a place of great significance to locals, not only because of the various personalities that were born and bred here (most notably the Revolution hero Antonis Melidonis), but also for its proximity to both the sea and the country.
