Achillion Palace  

In central Rethymno, a breath from the seafront and right by the entrance to the old town. The sandy beach is about 100 m away, the Venetian port is an 8-minute walk and Rimondi Fountain around 10 minutes on foot. Fortezza Castle and the lighthouse sit close enough for easy day trips.

A recently renovated modern hotel with 72 spacious rooms done in simple, tasteful style. All rooms have private balconies, en-suite bathrooms (bathtub or shower), individually adjustable air conditioning and fridges. The vibe blends smart comfort with touches of local character and easy access to the city’s narrow old-town streets.

Seasonal outdoor pool plus an indoor pool and aquapark for splash-ready fun, a rooftop terrace and a garden for chill-out time. There’s a poolside bar, lounge and a hair salon on site. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll to the sand in minutes.

Well-equipped conference facilities and a conference hall that can host up to 120 people. Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff make it easy for business travellers.

An on-site restaurant and breakfast room serve local Cretan flavours and classic hotel favourites. There’s also a bar, poolside bar and a coffee shop/cafe, plus limited-hour room service for late arrivals.
