Resort Description
The charming harbour town of Rethymnon sits on the northern coast of Crete, beautifully bisecting the area between Chania and the Heraklion capital. Famed for its flawlessy-preserved Venetian old town, breathtaking beaches and friendly population of locals — our Rethymnon villas place you right at the centre of Greece's largest and most coastline-rich island.
History waits around every corner in Rethymnon, with its Venetian Fortezza standing as a hallmark treasure above the cobbled streets of the 16th-Century old town. A maze of Medieval alleyways leads you by an elegant display of historic architecture, from Venetian fountains and public buildings to Ottoman domes and minarets.
A journey east reveals the seamless blend from historic to modern, with Rethymnon's growing new town flaunting an impressive flourish of restaurants, shops and world-renowned beaches. Our villas in Rethymnon are scattered throughout the spellbinding Cretan landscape, offering a quiet sanctuary to return to after sunny days spent exploring.
