The bay at Rethymno seen from the seafront apartments

Rethymno · Crete

Six ways to wake up in Rethymno

Four studios on the beach, an apartment in the old town, and a garden apartment above it.

The seafront promenade towards town

Ninemia

One host, six apartments

Ninemia is a small collection, looked after by one person. Four studios in a single quiet building on the Rethymno seafront, on the first and third floors, all facing the sea. One apartment inside the Venetian old town, on a courtyard rather than a street. The sixth sits a short climb above the centre, a ground-floor flat opening onto its own garden with the town below it. Whichever you choose, you deal with Nikos rather than a platform.

From €60 per night

What they have in common

01

The location does the work

On the seafront the bay is through the window. In the old town everything is a walk away. Up in the garden there is nothing at all to hear at night.

02

Kept properly

Small enough that one person looks after all six. That is why the cleanliness scores hold up across nearly three hundred stays.

03

Direct booking

The same apartments, the same host, without the platform commission. The calendars here are synced with Airbnb, so what shows as free really is.

A street in Rethymno's Venetian old town

The town

Rethymno, at walking pace

Crete's most walkable old town sits at the end of the promenade — a Venetian harbour, a fortress on the headland, and a grid of narrow streets that has been lived in continuously for four hundred years. We've written down where we'd actually send a friend.

“One of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had! Incredible view you can admire just lying in bed. Close to all the spots in Rethymno.”

“This apartment is a little gem and has everything you need. The sunsets from the balcony are just lovely but it has shade during the hottest part of the day and you definitely need it!! Nikos is a great host (probably the best we have used on Airbnb) and is always contactable if you need him, he sorted our taxi transfer from the airport and let us store our luggage on the last day as we had a late flight home. His recommendations for restaurants are definitely worth checking out. The location of the apartment is just what we needed close enough to the harbour and old town (about a 15 flat walk) but not in the middle of it. The lovely beach is only a few steps across the road, with plenty on sun beds to use. This is a great little place to stay and I would definitely recommend it.”Show more

“We really enjoyed our stay at Nikos's apartment. It was clean, modern, very comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The location in the Old Town is excellent – in the evenings you can step straight onto the pedestrian streets with plenty of restaurants and cafés. Despite being so central, the apartment is very quiet thanks to the excellent windows. The beach is also only a 10–15 minute walk away.”Show more
