Ikones Suites in Rethymno 741 33, open June–September.
Perched on the Cretan coast near Rethymno, Ikones Suites commands views across the Aegean Sea and whitewashed architecture that rises from the waterfront.
The property's suite-based layout offers intimate gathering spaces with stone terraces overlooking the water, where Mediterranean light floods across outdoor venues throughout the day.
Historic Rethymno's Venetian harbor sits within walking distance, providing authentic Old Town backdrops for photography and evening celebrations.
This is one of the best hotels we ever been in Greece. The design of the hotel, all the staff is very nice, helpful and kind. The rooms are very well isolated, the hotel itself is very quiet and you can relax. All the rooms and the hotel is very clean and well maintained. The food was excellent, very good quality and variety. On the beach the staff needs to be more organized and more friendly. At the reception they were extremely kind and always very helpful with our needs. I truly recommend this hotel if you are searching for a quiet place, very good food and service.
