A hub of industry, watch ships come and go at Rethymnon Venetian Port. Learn about what types of cargo enters and leaves the docks and how a busy port operates.

Rethymnon Venetian Port is a worthwhile place to start out your day in Rethymno. This waterfront industrial area is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Fortezza Castle, University of Crete, and Rethymnon Town Hall to fully appreciate what's on offer in the area.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (234 reviews)

This hotel, like many others marked as “VIP Access,” offers no real benefits. Despite clear upgrade availability the night before check-in, we were told nothing was available once we mentioned VIP status—a recurring pattern where upgrades are consistently denied using vague excuses. If a non-VIP guest wanted to pay, I’m certain a room would have been available. There was no recognition, no perk, no welcome amenity—nothing. Even after raising the issue with guest relations, no effort was made to address it. Additionally, the advertised valet parking doesn’t exist and isn’t needed—it’s just misleading. This feels more like a marketing trick than a real program. I strongly urge you to review and remove this hotel from the VIP Access list.
