My kids (14 and 11) and I spent a wonderful 10 days at Rethymno, and we loved Ioannis' apartment, which was perfect in every way! Very clean and spacious, it offers two bedrooms (each with a double bed) and a large living room with two more sofa-beds. The kitchen is fully equipped and the huge balcony (accessible from the living room and both bed rooms!) invites you having a nice breakfast. Not with sea view - but with the urban feel of the small town Rethymno though.
Above all, the apartment is perfectly located: 20 meters from the central "Square of the Unknown Soldier"! From there, turn left into the pretty old town or to the restaurants along the harbor. On the right, walk 5 minutes to the beginning of a few kilometers of beach stretching east.
Ioannis was very kind and helpful and provided us with lots of information about Crete, Fitness-Clubs in Rethymno other beaches or small bays...
We hope, to come back again soon... Thank you so much!
