Thalassi Hotel

This family run hotel is based in Sfakaki, a peaceful coastal village on the Greek island of Crete. Just a short walk from the beach, the hotel offers easy access to the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea. Nearby, you can explore the historic town of Rethymno, known for its Venetian harbour, medieval Old Town, and lively atmosphere. The Arkadi Monastery and Melidoni Cave are also within reach if you’re interested in the local history and nature.

Back at base, the hotel features a large outdoor swimming pool with sunbeds and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing under the Mediterranean sun. Dining is a highlight at the on-site Thalassi Taverna, serving authentic Cretan and Greek cuisine with fresh, local ingredients. If you like to eat out, you’ll find plenty more restaurants and tavernas along the coast. With its welcoming atmosphere, great location, and easy access to both relaxation and cultural attractions, this hotel makes a decent base for your Cretan getaway.
