4-star amphitheatrically built hotel on a hillside with panoramic views over the Cretan Sea and Venetian Castle
Pools & Views
Archipelagos Hotel is built on a hillside, offering views over the Cretan Sea and the Venetian Castle from nearly every room and pool area. The property provides two outdoor swimming pools, including a rooftop pool with a pool bar and sun loungers overlooking the sea. Guests can access a shallow-end pool and a fitness center with aerobics equipment.
Rooms
The hotel offers air-conditioned studios and apartments, each with a furnished balcony - most with direct views of the Cretan Sea and Rethymno town. Higher-floor rooms provide panoramic vistas, while ground-floor apartments and certain superior studios include private pools. Allergy-free rooms with allergen-proof mattress options are available, and daily maid service is included.

Located 50 metres from Koumbes Beach - a small sandy cove favored by locals - and 1 km from Rethymno's old town. The Venetian Fortress and the Archaeological Museum are within a 15-minute walk, and the central bus station is 500 metres away. Free parking is available on site, and the hotel offers an airport shuttle service to Chania International Airport (70 km).
Dining & Services
Breakfast is served daily with Cretan specialties and dietary options, including yogurt with honey and fresh pastries. The on-site pool bar offers snacks and meals throughout the day, and two restaurants provide additional dining choices. The hotel's 24-hour front desk arranges car and bicycle rentals, and the owner personally provides local recommendations.
Family-Friendly
Families are accommodated with baby safety gates, strollers, and children's menus at the restaurant. The shallow beach across the street is protected by a wave breaker, making it safe for young swimmers. Kids can use the shared lounge and board games, while parents enjoy the adult-friendly rooftop pool area.
