Nautica Hotel Apartments  

On Stavromenos Beach near Skaleta and about 12 km from scenic Rethymno, Nautica Hotel Apartments perches steps from the sand. Close to Rethimno Kart, Arkadi Monastery and the Military Museum, this pet-friendly, family-friendly aparthotel is a beach-and-culture base on Crete’s north coast.

Rooms are simply warm and coastal-chic with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and private furnished balconies or patios overlooking the Cretan Sea. Self-catered kitchenettes include a fridge and cooking hobs plus a spacious dining and seating area; bathrooms have showers, complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. There are 13 rooms in total, each built for easy, sun-soaked downtime.

Take a dip in the sea-view outdoor pool or let kids splash in the children’s pool while you lounge under umbrellas on the beach or by the pool. Poolside bar and a bar in the palm-tree garden keep drinks coming, and the property also offers a playground, picnic area, terrace and garden. Onsite perks include a fitness centre, free private parking, laundry/ironing and pet-friendly rooms—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll straight to the sand.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the aparthotel (fast enough for streaming and working) and free self-parking make short stays and remote work easy. Note: front desk operates on limited hours.

Enjoy a homemade breakfast onsite; continental breakfast is served daily (fee applies, 8–10 AM). Sip coffee or cocktails at the poolside bar, then wander 500 metres to Stavromenos village for local taverns and authentic Cretan flavors.
