Why Stay in Rethymno Old Town?

Choosing to stay in Rethymno Old Town means immersing yourself in centuries of history, from Venetian fortresses to Ottoman mosques. You will not easily get bored when discovering the alleys of this picturesque town. There are tons of restaurants and bars to go to, and the long, sandy beach of Rethymno is only a 10-minute walk. This way, you get city and beach for the price of 1 during your holiday.

Note that the old town of Rethymno is CAR FREE. This means you’ll have to find parking outside of the center and walk with your luggage to your accommodation.
