Aquila Rithymna Beach

Aquila Rithymna Beach

Rethymnon, Crete, Greece

Star Rating: ****

With a beachfront setting, a trio of good-looking outdoor pools, and a diverse dining scene, the Rithymna Beach delivers across the board.

The Aquila Rithymna Beach looks out over Crete’s longest beach, a pebbly stretch with a coveted Blue Flag. And it’s only a 10-minute drive away from ancient Rethymnon Town.

This hotel has been designed in the style of a Cretan village, so it has a spacious set-up of whitewashed restaurants and bars. There are four spots to eat in total, serving everything from pizza to seafood.
