About
In Crete, Velani can be found at Velani 46, Avdou 700 05, Greece, in the island's interior.
Velani holds a 4.7/5 rating from 278 reviews, a steady record among those who eat here. The nearby places listed include Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi, covering much of the island. Avdou sits inland, away from the north coast resorts, so reaching it means heading into the hills. The venue's website is http://www.countryhotel.gr/, the main online point of reference for planning a visit.
First-time visitors should note that Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, so timing a visit around one of these adds local colour.
Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer, which matters when planning travel to Crete.
