“Wonderful stay in a beautiful town with the most caring possible host.”
I loved my stay in Rethymno. My lodgings at Afrodite were beautiful and charming, and I really appreciated the comfortable bed, kitchen amenities and washing machine. But the best thing about staying at Afrodite is Yannis, the exceptionally kind and caring owner. He arranged a wonderful taxi driver, Stelios, to pick me up at the airport, met the taxi a few blocks away and carried my bags to the hotel, and brought me juice, fruit and a bottle of wine when I checked in. Later, when I had a medical concern, he accompanied me to the hospital and stayed there until I was seen by the doctors. Yannis exemplifies the Cretan virtue of "filoxenia."

“Outstanding Customer Service and Location !”
The host was very helpful in arranging parking and advice on local restaurants and historical sites in the area. The apartment was huge and had a nice outside porch to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning. Our apartment also had a nice peek-a-boo ocean view. The kitchen was fully loaded with lots of extra accoutrements. We needed nothing = The host has been in the business a long time and knows all about customer service and satisfaction ! Over-all an excellent stay !

“Fantastic stay, thoughtful gifts, spotless room, wonderful host.”
When we arrived at Afroditi in Rethymno, we were greeted by Yannis, a truly lovely man who could not do enough for us. At reception, he told us all about the history of the town, the churches, and recommended some excellent restaurants. Our room was spotless, in a traditional Greek style, and Yannis had kindly left us gifts: large bottles of water, a fridge full of fresh fruit, and even a free bottle of wine. The facilities were outstanding – fresh towels daily, free air conditioning, a free safe, a washing machine, kettle, coffee maker, sandwich toaster, hair dryer, and even hair straighteners (a first for us in a hotel!). Every morning Yannis greeted us with a warm “kaliméra – Good Morning” and a big smile. On our last day, he even invited us out for drinks, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The hotel’s location is ideal – right in the centre of the Old Town, close to shops, bars, and restaurants, and only a 10-minute walk to the beach. If you’re looking for a very welcoming, traditional Greek hotel, I would definitely recommend Afroditi.

“Excellent and relaxing”
Yannis was an excellent host providing a lot of information in Rethymnon (restaurants, shops, cultural points of interest) as well as what to do in the vicinity. The apartment was very comfortable and the beds well sized 200 x 180 cm, which is important because I am 195 cm. We were surprised with fresh fruit and 2 bottles of wine in our room

“Best way to start holidays”
Usually I don’t write reviews, but this stay must be reviewed. Very warm and friendly welcome from Yannis, when we arrived at the hotel. The room was spotlessly clean, with some nice welcome gifts and even more :). A perfect way to start your vacation in Crete. 100% recommend to everyone

“Muy recomendable!”
We were very happy with our stay! The host was extremely caring and hospitable. He even called us to check how we were doing, left the fridge full of fruit and water, and gave us some nice details when we checked out – and we were only staying for one night! He was very thoughtful: the bathroom had shampoo, shower gel, and other essentials. He also recommended a place for dinner and even called to book the table for us. We highly recommend staying here!

“Wonderful stay at Afroditi - we would definitely come back!”
Our stay at Afroditi was absolutely fantastic. We were greeted on arrival by Yannis who helped us find the car park and even took our luggage for us. He gave us lots of recommendations of things to do and then showed us to our room which was lovely and had absolutely everything you could need. The fridge was full of fruit and we got drinks on arrival. We were also given gifts when we left! We cannot recommend this place enough if you are visiting Rethymno and we would definitely come back. Don’t hesitate to book!
