Location was great, close to old town, parking across the road (paid and free if you have patience to wait) staff were attentive but obviously a little tired after a long season. All in all a very pleasing stay

Location, style, excellent helpful reception staff manager. Equipped kitchen so you don’t always have to eat at restaurants. The serological museum is a perfect size, easily fitted into a morning or afternoon, and close to eateries.

Very close to the beach, but also just a short walk into the old town. Very good sound isolation, you don't notice the noisy street outside when the balcony doors are closed. Comfortable, spacious room with kitchen.

Company information

Thalyra is ideally located on the coastal road of Rethymno, in one of the most vibrant and beautiful areas of the city. The sandy beach stretches right in front of the hotel, offering easy access for swimming, relaxation, or water sports. Along the coastal road, you will find a variety of restaurants, taverns, cafés, and bars where you can enjoy local flavors and refreshing drinks with a view of the sea. The historic center of Rethymno is just a 10–15 minute walk away—perfect for strolling through the picturesque alleys, visiting the Venetian Harbor, the Fortezza Fortress, and the traditional shops. The area is safe and well-connected, with a bus and taxi stop near the hotel, making it easy to explore other parts of Crete. The neighborhood around Thalyra combines the liveliness of the city with the relaxed atmosphere of the beach.

Property information

Thalyra Hotel was born from two words that define Crete: the sea, and the sound of the lyre. Here, on the waves, the landscape changes colors every moment— from the blue of the morning, to the terracotta of the sunset, to the green of the olive tree and the earthy tones of the stone. These four shades became the inspiration for each room: four moods, four experiences, four stories. Thalyra is a place where the tranquility of the sea meets the authenticity of the Cretan soul. A small refuge where the visitor does not simply stay — he lives the moment. Sounds, colors, light, sea, and lyre. Thus, Thalyra was born. Thalyra is located in a privileged spot on the coast of Rethymno, just 20 meters from the sea, offering a unique view of the Cretan Sea and easy access to the sandy beach. The hotel features 10 comfortable and bright rooms, ideal for couples, families, and travelers seeking tranquility and warm hospitality.

Neighbourhood information

Families love Thalyra for its ideal location and warm, friendly atmosphere. The hotel is just 20 meters from the beach, allowing both young and old to enjoy the sea without any hassle. The comfortable family rooms offer space, cleanliness, and all the necessary amenities for a carefree vacation. Within a few minutes’ walk, you will find taverns, supermarkets, playgrounds, and parks, while the beachfront promenade is perfect for evening strolls with a stroller. The staff is always happy to provide information and suggestions for family activities, excursions, and local experiences. At Thalyra, every family feels at home — with comfort, safety, and genuine Cretan hospitality by the sea.
