The stay was quite nice. It is not in the heart of the old city of Rethymno; nevertheless, it was a very nice place to stay (in Panormos 20 minute drive from old city). The view from the balcony is very peaceful in the mornings from bed, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was a plus! There is a supermarket right next door and a FANTASTIC restaurant with a nice family working there, and a great view. It is called Captain’s House (free WiFi) where we ate the fish of the day! It was so good, we went twice. The apartment even has black out shades for an ensured quiet and dark sleep. There is a nice cafe for breakfast called Vinzi (you can also set navigation to here as a destination point) where we also ate twice. It had a nice view and food! There is also a nice small beach on the harbor you can walk to. Overall, we were glad to stay here.
