The Village Adele

People are dreaming for their perfect vacation.

Every year many people are dreaming for their perfect vacation and looking for possible destinations to visit in order to have a lovely and beautiful summer. Without any doubt one of the best options for an unforgettable tourist experience is the island of Crete. In every corner of the island there is a beautiful beach and an important archaeological site. There are many charming locations to visit in the island and a great variety of modern tourist accommodations, but there is one small village which stands out: the village of Adele in the region of Adelianos Kampos. The small but picturesque village of Adele is built in a distance of approximately 7km east from Rethymno and rewards you with a rich cultural yet relaxed experience. To reach Adele you need to reach either Heraklion International Airport or Chania International Airport first, which is relatively convenient as Adele is equally distant from both, meaning many more flight options. Public bus service from both the airports and Rethymnon connects the Adele with other places of the island. Additionally taxis, rental cars and motorcycles are also available.

The area of Adele has been inhabited since the Minoan era, with significant finds such as the vaulted tomb at “Damouros” and the ancient residential site at "Pyrgos". However, the center of Adele that you can see today dates back to Venetian era, with findings like the "Two Passages" that probably formed its medieval gates. Incorporating elements from different eras, like Venetian domination in Crete, as well as the period of Ottoman rule of island, Adele gives to the visitor an authentic view of Cretan history. The current resident population of the village is coming up to 435 inhabitants, with many of them being involved in the cultivation of olives. The olive groves in the wider area are considered to be one of the largest in Greece and it produces qualitative oil.
