Serviced Apartments in Réthymno

Réthymno is a city with a population of 40,000 people on the north coast of the Greek island of Crete. Its history dates back to antiquity and is rich with the culture of the Minoan Civilisation. There is also plenty of Venetian history associated with the town, with virtually all of the modern city’s old town area built by that civilisation. Today, tourists choose to stay in Réthymno holiday rentals and self-catered apartments to enjoy the history, architecture and its attractive seafront.

The architecture of the city is varied and attractive and has a certain aristocratic air to it. Many of the buildings date back to the 16th century and there are both Roman and Byzantine influences to be seen in the narrow streets and stonework archways and staircases. With so much atmosphere it is a joy in itself to simply leave your Réthymno serviced apartment to wander around the quaint little streets of the city.

The town’s citadel (castle) is known as the Fortezza and is one of the most well preserved castles on the entire island. This castle is of Venetian heritage as is the Loggia which houses the city's information centre and Ministry of Culture. If you're lucky, you will book an apartment rental in Réthymno which overlooks the Piazza Rimondi, a spacious and attractive square in the heart of the city. This is where the locals often congregate to eat drink and converse, or simply to watch the world go by.

In the areas surrounding the city, they is plenty of agriculture, especially olive and citrus fruit groves. With olive oil being a very important part of the Greek and Mediterranean diets, these olives are often transported directly into the tavernas and restaurants of the city to be eaten fresh. When it comes to food, you have the option of either taking something back to your Réthymno holiday apartment or to make use of all this fresh produce and dining in the many cafes and eating establishments available to you.

Réthymno also has an attractive port area where boats of all sizes are docked, surrounded by attractive white and pastel coloured townhouses. In this area you will also find Réthymno serviced accommodation and restaurants with great views of the port and the Mediterranean in general.
