Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Old Town Rethymnon cost?
Budget hotel prices in Old Town Rethymnon vary, but you can find a great deal from $55 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—off-peak and mid-week stays are typically cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Old Town Rethymnon is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Old Town Rethymnon, the areas just outside the Venetian walls, particularly to the south and east, offer an excellent balance of affordability and convenience. These peripheral spots provide easier access for vehicles and often less crowded streets, while still being a short walk from the historic core.

Solo travellers will find a good selection of smaller guesthouses and budget-friendly apartments in the streets bordering the old town, such as those near the Municipal Garden or east towards the bus station. These accommodations often provide a more local feel and are ideal for those who enjoy exploring on foot, with the entire old town's attractions, like the Venetian Harbour and Rimondi Fountain, easily accessible.

Couples looking for value might consider the areas slightly further from the main tourist thoroughfares, perhaps a few blocks inland from the waterfront. Here, you can find charming, quieter hotels or apartments that offer competitive rates. This allows for a more relaxed atmosphere while still enjoying the convenience of strolling into the heart of the old town for dining or sightseeing.
When is the most affordable time to visit Old Town Rethymnon?
The most affordable time to visit Old Town Rethymnon is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from April to early June and September to October. During these months, you'll find lower prices for accommodations and flights compared to the peak summer season, while still enjoying pleasant weather.

For couples, these periods offer a more tranquil experience, allowing for romantic strolls through the charming streets and along the Venetian harbor without the crowds. You'll also find that local tavernas and cafes are less bustling, providing a more intimate dining experience.

Solo travellers will appreciate the quieter atmosphere, making it easier to connect with locals and explore the historical sites at a relaxed pace. Many attractions, like the Fortezza fortress and the Venetian Loggia, remain open, often with reduced entry fees or fewer visitors, enhancing the overall value of your trip.
What free activities should we do in Old Town Rethymnon?
Old Town Rethymnon offers a surprising array of free activities, allowing couples to immerse themselves in its charm without spending a single euro. Exploring the labyrinthine alleys is a delightful experience in itself, revealing Venetian and Ottoman architecture at every turn.

Couples can wander through the Venetia Quarter, admiring the intricate doorways and balconies, or stroll along the old Venetian Harbor, watching the fishing boats and enjoying the sea breeze. The Rimondi Fountain, a beautiful 17th-century landmark, is another free sight worth visiting in the heart of the town. For panoramic views, a walk up to the Fortezza, though the interior has an entrance fee, offers stunning vistas of the town and the sea from its surrounding walls.

Evenings can be spent enjoying a romantic sunset from the harbor or simply people-watching from a bench in the main squares like Platia Titou Petichaki, soaking in the lively option without any cost.
Is it cheaper to book a Old Town Rethymnon hotel and flight package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect vacation package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Old Town Rethymnon for you.
