About Aquila Rithymna Beach

location

This hotel is located on the beach, just 30 m from the bus stop, 100 m from the nearest bars, shops and restaurants and 7 km from the centre of Rethymnon, the third largest town on Crete, an intriguing mixture of old-world charm and lively Cretan life. The vivacious atmosphere of the Old Town is just the place for a stroll on long summer evenings. The different eras and influences on the town can be seen in the unusual architecture and buildings.
