We loved our stay in Rethymno. The location of the property in the centre of the old town, yet close to the beach, was perfect. The roof terrace was sunny and sheltered so some days we stayed there instead of going to the beach. The property is really spacious and has everything you will need including beach towels so less to pack! The kitchen was well equipped, WiFi connection worked perfectly, sound system great. If you don't choose to drive there is a really good bus service every hour from either Chania or Heraklion to Rethymno. Please use Valantis' suggestions of restaurants as they were great. We also liked Zefyros, a fish restaurant at the old port. Can't recommend this property highly enough!
