Seaside elegance in the heart of Rethymnon
Just a two-minute stroll from the Blue Flag-awarded Rethymnon Beach and less than ten minutes from the charming old town, Minos Hotel offers the perfect balance of seaside relaxation and cultural exploration in coastal Greece. This welcoming retreat is ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway or families looking for fun-filled holiday days by the sea, with easy access to Crete's rich heritage.
At the heart of the experience is the stunning rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Cretan Sea and ocean beyond. Children will delight in the Poseidon Junior Water Park, designed especially for ages 3-12 with exciting slides and water fountains. When you're not lounging poolside, try your hand at water polo, join a Greek dance lesson, or challenge someone to a game of giant chess. The spa centre offers relaxing treatments, a sauna, and a traditional Turkish bath for ultimate holiday relaxation.
The spacious rooms feature amenities including air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flatscreen TVs, with many boasting private balconies overlooking the pool, garden, or seafront. Start your day with an American-style buffet breakfast at Ambrosia Restaurant, enjoy Mediterranean flavours for lunch at the flower-filled Dionysus Pool Restaurant, then return to Ambrosia for dinner featuring Greek and international dishes with entertaining live cooking shows.
Minos Hotel combines the best of Cretan hospitality with comfort, creating a memorable base for exploring all that Rethymnon has to offer.

Find out more about Rethymnon
Rethymnon, an exceedingly well-preserved Venetian harbour town on Crete’s northern coast, is so rich in history and culture that you could spend months exploring it. The island’s third-largest city is home to a dazzling mix of Ottoman-era mosques, a behemoth fortress and cobblestone streets lined with Venetian buildings. Some of Crete’s most interesting museums – dedicated to everything from contemporary art to archaeological finds – can be explored on your Rethymnon holidays.
