In the Old Town of Rethymno, this duplex apartment is at the heart of the action. It’s just a short stroll to the ancient harbour and the beach, and there are loads of bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The highlight has to be the private terrace with its inviting hot tub, dining area and view over the rooftops to the town’s Venetian castle. There’s a delightful, open living room and kitchen inside and the main bedroom is tucked away at the back (a little lacking in natural light). The second bedroom is on a mezzanine level about the living area, with a black-out curtain for privacy.

Home truths
At capacity, one person will be on the sofa bed in the living room.
One of the bedrooms is on a mezzanine level above the living area with a thick, black-out curtain for privacy. When the curtain is pulled, there is no natural light.
This apartment is on the first floor of a building without a lift. You'll need to be comfortable climbing stairs to reach the entrance of this home.
The single beds on the mezzanine can be arranged as a king-sized bed on request.
While there is no private parking with this apartment, you're in the centre of town and we think Rethymno is best explored on foot.
