In the heart of Rethymnon, just steps from the Old Town, is this sleek pad. It’s a room in a boutique hotel, so you won’t find homely amenities here. There’s no kitchen, but there is an abundance of Cretan restaurants on your doorstep. Plus, there is a kettle for essential morning coffees. Or you can head downstairs for a complimentary coffee, which is a nice touch. Space is limited, but that’s to be expected of a hotel room. The balcony opens it up, though, and the communal rooftop terrace is even better. The cherry on top? You’re just a seven-minute walk to the beach.
