Odyssia Beach in Ρέθυμνο 741 33.

Odyssia Hotel sits on the Cretan coastline near Rethymno, offering direct beach access with views across the Mediterranean.

The property features contemporary architecture integrated into the natural landscape, with terraces overlooking the water and the surrounding hills.

Guests arrive to a setting where sea breezes and coastal light define the atmosphere throughout the day and into evening celebrations.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Positives: - short distance to beach - very nice atmosphere - pleasant staff - nice pool, a little small, but ok. - good food - nice rooms - perfect beach Negatives: - the manager at the restaurant (an elderly man with makeup) was sometimes screaming at the guests, and very stressed. - sometimes the water filtering in the pool was turned of, and the water got dirty really fast. Had to complain for them to turn on circulation. - people did not shower before entering pool, the only showers were on the beach.
