According to greek mythology, three goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite fought for the Apple of Discord. Τhe apple bore the inscription “Kallisti", which translates “To the Prettiest One”. The goddesses petitioned Zeus to make the final decision of who should get the apple, but Zeus pointed Paris. Hera promised Paris political power, Athena offered war victories, but clever Aphrodite pledged him the most beautiful woman on Earth, so she got the Apple of Discord. In the beautiful village of Kyriana, close to the lively town of Rethymno, Kallisti Villas, three brand new, luxurious Villas that overlook the cretan country, will also make your choice difficult, as to which one you should be your loved one for this summer.
