We had a beautiful stay in Rethymno. The beach was about 8-10 minute walk away with great beach service beds. The apartment was right in the middle of town which was so useful, a quiet town so no concerns of noise. Great promenade of places to eat and have a drink. The apartment itself had everything you would need and more. Perfect little holiday destination and would recommend to anyone hoping for a relaxing trip with everything on your doorstep.
