Great apartment located in the heart of Rethymno.
THE LOCATION
The location is excellent!
The beach is less than ten minutes walk away to the east.
The alleys of the old town are a five minute walk to the west.
More modern night life is just around the corner, near the sea, 3 minutes away.
THE APARTMENT
The apartment is clean, quiet and spacious. Both bedrooms have AC. All windows and balcony doors have bug nets.
The kitchen have many appliances: boiler, micro, stove , fridge, freezer, toaster but most importantly an espresso machine :)
The apartment has a TV & gaming room with a TV and an XBox 320 and a lot of games.
Above the apartment is a terrace with sunbeds, a table and chairs. The terrace also has a sound system with FM-radio and bluetooth so you can connect your own devices and play your own music.
The bathroom has a shower cabin and modern washing machine which we used several times.
THE HOST'S
Panagiotis is a very cool dude and very service minded. Easy to communicate and always quick to answer when we had questions for him. We also met his father and mother which are equally friendly. As I understand it the family run the "pool bar" on the bottom floor of the same house.
PRO TIP 1
The "Farma" on the same street as the apartment is a must for very tasty greek street food (gyros, souvlaki and more). My teenage sons ate there many late nights before returning home (from wherever they may have roamed). Farma is located 3 minutes to the west from the apartment just before a church.
PRO TIP 2
There's a bakery a minute further to the west on the top corner of the same square as the church mentioned above. We bought fresh baked bread many mornings here and ate breakfast on the apartments terrace.
