The hotel crewe is really nice and helpful. The check-in went smoothly and the room was clean and ready for us. It was a great apartment. From the balcony you could even see a part of the sea. You will have what you need if you’re looking for a great holiday at the beach, with cool drinks and delicious food. Everything is in walking distance. The beach isn’t as “busy“ as closer to the harbor even in August. If you get wanna spent some time away from the city you will be able to book excursions right on the street not far from the hotel…you will have a lot of fun and you need almost no energy to organize it.
For Transportation from/to the airport I recommend a shuttle bus (25-30€). It’s the best in terms of cost and comfort. If you want a car for 1-2 days you can still get it in Rethymnon as easy as the excursions (next to the hotel).
