If you're eager to experience the intriguing history of your new surroundings, make sure you check out Venetian Loggia.

Venetian Loggia is the perfect place to begin discovering Rethymno. This historic landmark comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like Fortezza Castle, University of Crete, and Rethymnon Town Hall to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (519 reviews)

Our 5 night stay at the Cretan Dream Resort was excellent. Nothing to fault about the Resort only that Stalos doesn't offer a great choice for evening dining and there isn't much of an atmosphere either. Hire a car for a short drive, 7.5km, into neighbouring Platanias for a wide selection of excellent restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment.

This hotel was exceptional. The view of the room was amazing. The hotel itself was very modern and clean. The sea view from the pool was outstanding and also it has an easy access to the beach. I would definitely suggest staying at this resort.

The owners, Matthew and Kim, are incredibly sweet and welcoming, and they’ve created a truly beautiful hotel. My children absolutely loved it here. The property features two pools and is set in a quiet, picturesque location that’s perfect for relaxing. The accommodations were wonderful—spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and clearly prepared with care. The nearby restaurant options were excellent, offering great variety within easy walking distance. Two beautiful beaches are just a short drive away—both small, peaceful, and never too crowded—which made our days by the sea even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I loved every moment of my stay and would highly recommend Paradice Luxury Hotel to anyone visiting Crete.
