Spili is a charming village located 27 kilometers southeast of Rethymno, perched at 430 meters above sea level. Its name, meaning "cave" in Greek, reflects the local caves that have long been part of the village’s history. Known for its strong Christian heritage, Spili is home to 21 beautiful churches scattered throughout the village. Visitors love to relax in the cool, shady village squares, where they can enjoy a coffee while listening to the gentle sound of flowing water. The centerpiece of Spili is the famous Lions Fountain (Kefalovrissi)—a series of stone lion heads from which fresh spring water continuously flows, providing a refreshing and memorable experience. Spili offers a peaceful retreat with authentic Cretan charm, perfect for those wanting to explore traditional village life.
