This sleek pad puts you in the heart of Rethymnon, just steps from the Old Town. The location is hard to beat, especially with the beach just a seven-minute walk away. There isn’t a kitchen here or any way to cook food, but who needs cooking with an abundance of restaurants on your doorstep? And you don't have to worry about breakfast, it can be made fresh and delivered to you for an additional fee. Space is limited in the suite, and there's not much natural light, but there’s plenty of space to make use of in the building – the shared lounge, the communal rooftop, and there’s even a winery. They offer wine tastings of Cretan wines for a traditional experience.

The world’s loss, however, is your gain, as this overlooked region is home to a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the sandy shores of the Libyan Sea to the sloping hills that form mighty Mount Psiloritis.
