I take great pride in maintaining Polyxenia Suites to the highest standards, and I’m always available to assist you before and during your stay. Whether you're looking for the best local tavernas, cultural spots, or simply need help planning your day, I’m here to help. I look forward to welcoming you to Rethymno and ensuring your time at Polyxenia Suites is truly special.

Polyxenia Suites is located on the main street of the traditional Old Town of Rethymno. Situated between two squares, it offers visitors a unique view. Our building was renovated in 2016 and is one of the tallest buildings in the Old Town of Rethymno. All our rooms offer views, spacious balconies up to 25 meters in length, and include all the comforts and amenities you’ll need to enjoy your vacation. Our front desk staff will keep you informed about anything you may need and will also be responsible for all the services we provide.

Rethymno’s Old Town is one of the best-preserved Renaissance towns in Greece, where Venetian, Ottoman, and Cretan influences blend to create a unique and captivating atmosphere. Wandering through its narrow, cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time, with colorful facades, arched doorways, and charming courtyards at every turn. The heart of the Old Town is full of life, with cozy cafés, traditional tavernas, boutique shops, and artisan workshops. You’ll find local flavors, handmade goods, and warm hospitality around every corner. One of the town’s most iconic landmarks is the Fortezza, a 16th-century Venetian fortress that overlooks the city and the sea. It's the perfect spot to enjoy panoramic views and learn about Rethymno’s history. Other must-see sites include the Rimondi Fountain, an elegant Venetian-era fountain in the central square, and the Neratze Mosque, once a church and now a music conservatory. The Venetian Harbor, with its old lighthouse and waterfront tavernas, offers a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a sunset dinner. Whether you're interested in architecture, culture, history, or just soaking in the beauty of a traditional Cretan town, Rethymno’s Old Town has something magical for every visitor.
