Morne is one of those village most people think they don’t know but in fact if you travelling along the road from Rethymnon city to Spili and beyond you will have noticed this village visible on a hillside both before and after Spili. There are some beautiful houses with interesting architecture probably around 250 years old and many have been beautifully restored. The friendly locals will give you unsolicited praise and advice on all matters whether you understand or not.
They are extremely generous and love to share what they have from their gardens/allotments or produce, like their own raki or wine.
