This off-the-beaten path #beach is located on mainland Greece and is called Mylapotamos. There is a free car park at the top, where this photo was taken from. Simply descend the steps down to the beach, which has course sand. Usually the waters are quite calm and is a nice place for swimming, but on this particular day the waters were rough. There's even a little taverna at the bottom if you're hungry or thirsty!

"Comfortable and clean room."

Deluxe Triple Room | 1 bedroom, desk, laptop workspace, blackout drapes

"We enjoyed our stay here - the staff answered messages quickly, and the room although basic had everything needed for a few nights stay including a small well equipped kitchen area (kettle, coffee machine, stove hob). Bathroom was small but perfectly useable. A bit more information about the area would be useful but that's what the internet is for. Check in was via a coded key pick up. The location is about 15 minutes walk from main areas of the town. "

"Amazing host. Amazing hospitality.. Definitely recommend. Quiet and peaceful place"

"Das Appartement an sich war sehr nett bis auf die Ausstattung des Küchenbereichs, die war unterirdisch ( billigstes Besteck, es roch muffig, kaum Gläser). Die Betten waren angenehm und die anderen Bereiche waren sauber. Allerdings liegt das Appartement so, dass keine Privatsphäre möglich ist ( direkter Nachbar ohne Sichtschutz ( wir hatten glücklicherweise sehr nette!) Richtig nervig wurde es, als die Wohnung darüber mit 6 Personen bezogen wurde und die ständig die Stühle rückten ( sie waren...

5/5 Excellent

"This hotel is great and the breakfast and cleanliness are excellent. My only observations are that it would be great to have service around the pool and the storage space in the rooms definitely needs to be looked as, most of our clothes had to stay in piles on the floor. With that said I could go back to the hotel"

Great hotel in Rethymno

"Lovely hotel in Rethymno. The service was good and very helpful. There was plenty of options for food and drink in the all-inclusive package, I'd highly recommend. They had some entertainment on at 9pm pretty much every day but there wasn't much else other than that. We stayed in the suite and it was wonderful for a couple's one week holiday. It's only five minutes to the beach which was nice an easy."
