I spent my 10 day vacation with my girlfriend in Crete at the end of August. The island is just beautiful. We stayed at the Zantina Hotel. Located in the city of Rethymno, the road from the airport took about 2 hours.

A small 2 * city-type hotel, there is no territory as such, only two buildings with rooms. In front of the hotel there is a small terrace with a roof and tables and chairs.

There is a sandy beach across the road from the hotel, but the entrance to the sea is pebbly. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid. The beach line is long and there are many taverns along the promenade, some of them provide a sunbed for a purchased drink, very convenient, by the way.


The settlement went quickly. We had a double room. Air conditioning, TV, mini-fridge are free, everything is in working order. The furniture is normal: 2 single beds, bedside tables, dressing table, wardrobe. On the balcony there is a table with chairs, a beautiful view of the sea. A bit noisy in the evenings. In general, everything is decent, clean.
Cleaned and changed linen 2 times a week.

Breakfast is basically normal for a couple. For breakfast, Greek yogurt, honey, two types of jam, juice, tea or coffee, cheese and sausage cuts, bread, cookies and crackers are served.

Wi-fi is free, at the reception it was best to catch.

The old town of Rethymno can be reached on foot in 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. There is a bus station behind the Venetian fortress, you can take a regular bus to Chania (cost 6.80 €) and to Heraklion 8.30 €. Also a 5 minute walk from the hotel is a supermarket Halkiadakis, there is a large selection and prices are reasonable.

Good budget hotel. Recommend.
