A touch of modern tradition

This lovely two-bedroom maisonette is located in the Old Town of Rethymno, in a magnificent alley, just 100 meters away from the picturesque Venetian harbor. Built 150 years ago, this renovated residence spreads over a traditional two-storey building. In the old days, this house, like many others in the area, belonged to fishermen. That is why the street on which it is located is named Fisherman Street.

Enjoy your holidays in a central part of the city where all shops are within a short walking distance from the property. The vibrant shopping area, the picturesque taverns and the best restaurants in the city, various cafes, patisseries, and other amenities nearby, thus, enriching your stay in Rethymnon. Private parking is also available 150 metres away from the maisonette at a cost of 15€ per day.

The maisonette has 2 balconies overlooking the stunning Old Town, the sea around it, and the magical lighthouse at the Venetian Harbour which is the most idyllic spot of Rethymno. The property has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one on each floor. The first floor hosts one bedroom, one bathroom and the fully equipped kitchen. The second floor contains the other bedroom with its ensuite bathroom.

The beautifully restored old furniture, the old sink, the 1960s “Ice Box” fridge, and other traditional objects and decor details coexist in perfect harmony and reflect the past century in a romantic, yet modern atmosphere. This property remains faithful to the Cretan tradition while enriching today with the sweet aura of the past.
* Breakfast is offered at the residence or Ink Hotels for an additional charge.
