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. We stayed at this hotel during our holiday in Crete. We usually choose other accommodations (apartments) but this hotel amazed us! As soon as we arrived, Stelios accompanied us to our room: clean, minimal but with everything we needed and with a breathtaking view of the sea. We slept with the sound of the waves. Fantastic! As a perfect host, Stelios gave us advice on what to visit and where to eat: advice we followed while being pleasantly impressed! The hotel has a very nice pool and a well-stocked breakfast. The location is strategic for reaching the best beaches. Crete is a magical island. We absolutely recommend this hotel! Thanks.

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.
