We were looking for some simple yet comfortable accommodation for a relaxed week in Rethymno. We actually stayed in Anastasia (Green Studio), which was simply and perfectly kitted out (including AC and a very comfy bed), with access to a shady balcony and a roof terrace that had lovely view of the sunset over the town. Our room had a basic kitchenette - enough to cook breakfast, but nothing too ambitious!
The apartments are in the centre of the old town, a very short walk from the bus station. Eleni met us there upon our arrival, and was helpful and accommodating throughout our stay - even giving us some tasty local treats most days!
As mentioned already, the apartments are in the centre of an historic part of town, near to some lovely bars, tavernas and shops.
We stayed in July, so we didn't do too much other than visit the beach most days! It's a straightforward walk to the beach, but head further along to find a quieter spot.
Exactly the apartment (and host) we were looking for. Highly recommended!
