The apartment is very close to the beach, clean, spacious and had some lovely spaces, especially the outdoor patio with the big table. The beds were very comfortable and being away from the main street, I slept very soundly. The place has obviously been recently decorated and is very modern and well stocked with anything you could think to need. Also we were greeted with some fresh fruit and wine, which was a lovely surprise.
The walk into the old part of Rethymno took us about 20 minutes, walking along the beach. However there are enough restaurants and shops along the beach close by so that you have lots of places to eat and get groceries.
Would highly recommend for a quieter stay in Rethymno.
