Thalassa Boutique Hotel in Rethymno 741 32, open June–September.
Thalassa Boutique Hotel occupies a carefully restored 19th-century Venetian mansion in Rethymno's old town, its original stone walls and arched doorways preserved through meticulous renovation.
The property retains period architectural details while offering contemporary luxury, creating venues that honor Crete's layered history.
Set steps from the harbor where fishing boats still operate as they have for centuries, the hotel provides an authentic Mediterranean backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
This hotel was absolutely incredible. The views, the service, location etc. The room was gorgeous, spotless and they provided cozy robes to wear while sitting on the beautiful balcony looking at the sunset or sunrise. The town was a 20 minute scenic walk. The pool and beach were sufficient. We drove to the south both days though. Staff were friendly and breakfast was great. I highly recommend booking here.
