Welcome to Lyra Petra Villa in Violi Charaki, just a short distance from the vibrant heart of Rethymno city in beautiful Crete! Our villa is named "Lyra Petra", in honor of the local tradition. The settlement got its name from a young man who, by playing the Cretan lyra on a rock (called "petra" or "charaki" in the Cretan dialect), was alerting residents of approaching invaders.
