Just 50 metres from the beach and 1 km from Rethymno Town, Archipelagos Hotel is set on a hillside with panoramic views over the Cretan Sea and the Venetian Castle. Facilities include an outdoor communal pool and private pools, a pool bar and free WiFi. Great location — just about a 10-minute walk from the old town. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the staff are polite and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, with a good variety to choose from. There’s also a nice beach just across the road, about 50 meters away. Everything was perfect — excellent cleaning and a very pleasant stay!

Featuring an a la carte restaurant, Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family is set amidst a garden with olive trees. It offers air-conditioned accommodation, some self-catering, and free Wi-Fi in public areas. The popular Elafonisi Beach is 650 metres away. The apartment was perfect – they even gave us a free upgrade. While it didn’t have a sea view, it overlooked the mountains and olive groves, which was beautiful. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. It’s highly recommended to stay at least one night so you can enjoy the beach early in the morning, before the crowds arrive.

Featuring a restaurant and a pool with sun terrace amidst its palm-tree garden, Royal Sun lies within 3 km from the centre of Chania Town. It offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a private balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and the town. Maybe the best place to watch sunset in Chania! The breakfast buffet & views were amazing. My bed was comfortable & the shower water was hot. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.
