Agro-Tourism and Eco-Tourism at the Dalabelos Estate, Rethymno, Crete. We are open all year round. The agro-tourism complex of Dalabelos is located off the crowded tourist trails, but nearer to ploughed land, the flying of the seagulls and the vast starry sky. The Dalabelos is located near the Angeliana village, on a hill overlooking the Cretan Sea, 5 km to the north coast of Crete, 23 km from the town of Rethymno, 80 km from Chania and 55 km from Heraklion and the Knossos palace at the foot of the legendary Mount Ida. Our hotel features 10 stone-built modern and fully equipped studios of a total capacity of 30 persons. The buildings merge harmoniously with the surrounding landscape and visitors are seduced by the serene culture of the Cretan countryside. Under the shade of our restaurant’s spacious courtyard, overlooking a superb scenery, you can enjoy traditional Cretan dishes, prepared from products of our farm. If you wish, you can even attend courses on cooking, bread kneading and traditional confectionery.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Dalabelos, located at Ageliana Rethymnon, Perama, 74052, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Dalabelos, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Dalabelos are revisited so often.
