THE VILLAGE OF SPILI IN CRETE.
If besides monasteries and beaches you'd also like to see a pretty and cosy
village than Spili (on the road from Agia Galini in the south to Rethimnon,
which is 28km in distance) should be on your list. Spili is situated under a
steep rock, and there is an abundance of water, so Spili is very green. There
is a Venetian 'Kefalovrissi' fountain with 19 lionheads and 6 other fountains,
that brings crystal clear, drinking water from the Psiloritis mountain. There
are many shops with local products here (herbs, tea, nature products), as well
as cafes and restaurants. In the streets you find many flowers and old
churches. Spili has around 800 inhabitants, so it's fairly big for a Cretan
village.
