ATOL protected Package Holidays and Flights with Olympic Holidays

Our opinion: A luxury hotel with excellent sea views.

The luxurious Aquila Porto Rethymnon is located 1 kilometre from the centre of the picturesque old town of Rethymnon with its cobbled streets, Venetian harbour and a good variety of shops. The long sandy beach is located across the road, just 200 metres away. This high quality hotel has an excellent sea front location and you'll be made to feel welcome by the friendly staff.

During the day guests can relax at the swimming pool, at the Spa, or workout at the gym, and in the evening dine at the main restaurant which serves International and local cuisine. If you like your downtime to be a little more active, there are a variety of water sports on offer. You'll find hire facilities are available for canoeing, wind surfing and much more at the beach (payable locally).

In the evenings, guests wishing to relax with a drink will surely want to visit the bar/lounge. The hotel hosts entertainment with international shows twice a week and live music 3 times a week. Start your holiday in style by upgrading to the Premium All Inclusive package, which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, buffet style with local drinks included.
