In the picturesque, cobbled streets of Rethymno Old Town, this townhouse emanates an ambience from a bygone era while offering all modern amenities.

The 165 sqm townhouse unfolds over three floors, connected with an interior staircase, and offers a total of nine rooms, including five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Windows are double-glazed, while ac units will help you regulate the temperature to your desired levels. The flat roof is tiled and offers nice panoramic views of the historical (old) and modern parts of the city of Rethymno.

The Old Town of Rethymno

Although rich with history dating back to antiquity, Rethymno's growth began during the Venetian rule of Crete, when it became the seat of the Latin Diocese of Retimo, then Retimo-Ario. With buildings dating back to the 16th century, the narrow streets of Rethymno will travel you back to an era long bygone, an era of arched and ornate doorframes, narrow and picturesque alleyways and adorned fountains. Amongst its most notable sights we find the Venetian-era citadel, the Fortezza, the Neradje Mosque, the Great Gate and the Loggia. Showcasing a blend of architectural styles from its long and fascinating history, the Old Town of Rethymno will mesmerise you with its beauty while offering a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets.

Rental potential

The location of the property makes it ideal for short-term weekend breaks, as well as holiday rentals, commanding premium prices for an extended season.

Location - Distances

Rethymno is the third-largest city on the island of Crete. It is located on the northern side of the island and is roughly halfway between Heraklion and Chania. It is the seat of the Humanities Faculty of the University of Crete, a vibrant city with a strong student community. Rethymno offers all the amenities one would expect from a modern European city and boasts several monuments dating back to the Venetian and Ottoman eras of the city, an Archaeological, a Modern Art, an Historical, and a Paleontological Museum, the latter housed in Veli Pasha Mosque, itself an architectural landmark. The location of Rethymno renders it an ideal base for exploring all of the island.
