Prines is a village and the seat of the municipality of the same name within the municipality of Rethymno (Rethymno Regional Unit, Crete). It lies approximately 10 km west-southwest of Rethymno, directly southwest of Atsipopoulo, in a landscape characterized by walnut, plane, oak, and olive trees, at an altitude of 196 meters. With its roughly 900 inhabitants, Prines preserves elements of its Venetian and Ottoman past, including courtyards, houses with vaulted ceilings, stone staircases, and domes. Among the village's attractions, in addition to the Venetian buildings, is the Church of Saint Nicholas—the patron saint of the village—which stands next to the old stone school.
Prines offers modern agritourism establishments and holiday villas, as well as tavernas and a café-bar. The village boasts a small-sided football pitch (5x5 meters), over 10 kilometers of safe cycling routes of varying difficulty, and paths leading to Vederos and the Vederos Gorge. -
