Faros Beach Hotel

Perched on the Venetian harbor in Rethymno's Old Town, this boutique hotel sits steps from the Rethymnon Venetian Port and lighthouse. Stroll narrow streets to Rimondi Fountain, the Venetian Loggia, Centre for Byzantine Art and Fortezza Castle. The rooftop terrace gives direct views of the harbor and the Aegean Sea beyond.

Just 16 individually decorated rooms and suites, many with private or shared balconies and panoramic harbor/Aegean views. Rooms include air conditioning, 32-inch HD/LCD TVs, refrigerators or mini-fridges, safes and coffee/tea makers; bathrooms have showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Blackout drapes and daily housekeeping keep things comfy and low-drama.

Rooftop terrace for sea-sky moments, onsite body treatments and facials, plus a TV in the lobby and a computer station. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property and is consistently rated excellent — ideal for posting that harbor shot. Multilingual staff and express check-in add effortless vibes.

Complimentary high-speed (wired) internet and a computer station make short work of urgent tasks. Express check-out keeps business travel efficient.

Full breakfasts are served daily from 9:00 AM to noon for a fee. For lunch and dinner, the Old Town’s traditional tavernas and waterfront spots are steps away, where local flavors and fresh seafood dominate the menu.
