Minos

Minos Hotel is a family-friendly hotel on the north of the Greek island of Crete. It's steps from the beach and on the outskirts of Rethymnon, a harbor town with a vibrant atmosphere. The hotel offers a base for a relaxing holiday in the Greek sun, with the local sites and attractions all within walking distance. The hotel was partially renovated in 2017 and has two outdoor pools where you can take a dip. One of these is surrounded by a sun terrace, and the other has a grassy lawn around it. During the summer, you can order a drink from the roaming waiter while you soak up the sun. There are two bars at the hotel, both of which are open until late. During your stay, you can take part in aerobics classes and play darts, table tennis or pool. The hotel also provides entertainment for you to enjoy. At mealtimes, you can eat alfresco at one of the restaurants. When it's time to head out, you'll find a number of shops in the surrounding area. You could wander into Rethymnon, which is a short walk away, or head eastwards along the seafront, where the beach continues for another few kilometres.

Minos is in a popular area with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. There's a supermarket 100m away where you can pick up snacks to take to Rethymnon beach, which is 200m away from the hotel. You can get to the center of Rethymnon by walking 1km along the seafront. Here, you can go shopping and explore the narrow streets of the old town, perhaps stopping for a coffee or a glass of ouzo along the way. There's also a Venetian fortress you can visit, a short drive away from the hotel.
