Boutique beauty in central Rethymnon

Achillion Palace is perfectly situated in Rethymnon, just a two-minute walk from the seafront and a five-minute stroll to the entrance of the old town. From there, you're just 10 minutes on foot from the Venetian port and the magnificent medieval castle. For a beach day, the long, sandy Rethymnon Beach is only 100 metres away. And if you're in the mood for a road trip, the vibrant towns of Chania and Heraklion are just an hour’s drive.

The hotel features 72 beautifully appointed rooms, each designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Expect all the essentials: air-conditioning to keep you cool, free wi-fi for streaming your holiday snaps, a flat-screen TV to keep you entertained, and a private balcony to soak up the Mediterranean breeze. For an extra treat, many rooms offer gorgeous views of the sea or the hotel’s lush gardens, perfect for that morning coffee or sunset moment.

When it’s time to unwind, the hotel's courtyard garden, filled with greenery, offers a quiet retreat where you can relax with a book or just bask in the island sun. But the real showstopper is the rooftop pool – a panoramic retreat where you can take a dip while gazing out over the shimmering Cretan Sea and the historic rooftops of Rethymnon.

Start your days with the hotel’s delicious continental breakfast buffet, filled with local Cretan favourites like yoghurt, golden honey, and fresh seasonal fruits. When it comes to lunch or dinner, you’re spoiled for choice. Just a five-minute walk from the hotel, Rethymnon’s charming tavernas and cafes line the streets, offering a range of options. Be sure to try traditional Cretan dishes like dakos, kalitsounia, or the famed slow-cooked lamb. You’ll also find gyros and freshly caught seafood on most menus, along with plenty of raki and local wine to wash it down. After a day of exploring, head back to the hotel’s cosy bar for a refreshing cocktail or a glass of local Cretan wine.

Achillion Palace is your perfect Rethymnon base – whether you’re exploring the winding streets of the ‘Pearl of Crete', admiring the stunning sea views from the rooftop pool, or basking on the golden beach, you’re never far from the action. With spacious rooms, laid-back vibes, and a dash of Cretan charm it’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and indulge in a perfectly mixed cocktail or two!
