Can you advice me of some nice beaches near Rethymnon town where we can stay and have lunch? I've seen some lovely photos on the net and the idea of spending the morning on the beach and lunch by the sea really appeals to me.
Any advice appreciated - also where not to go!!!
Thank you.
If you go across to Ammoudi which I mentioned in my earlier post you will find the Taverna about two hundred metres from the beach. Make a selection the old Greek way by looking in the kitchen to see what is on offer for the day. They will also grill souvlaki and fresh fish to order.
Don't worry about the buckets and spades. Tidy your belongings up with the sunbeds and you will find them all untouched on your return, though make sure it isn't too breezy or you may be minus the towels!
You will also get a visit from the Doughnut man, 'Fresca, Fresca Doughnuts' midafternoon. Though be warned they are HUGE!
Yes, Rethymnon - dont go! we didnt like the beach nor the town! dirty///
Really - the beaches are dirty, Sue?
try the following too
Well, lets just say we didnt stay on the beach long, (ended up crossing the road and having a very nice ice cream in a restaurant instead!) We were very disappointed with Rethymnon. We were staying in Ag. Marina near Chania and visited Rethymnon - had a boat trip and ended up on the beach there. Also, we visited the park and were horrified at the conditions of the animals in the zoo there - perhaps they have cleaned it all up, it was a couple of years ago. Just put us off going back! Each to their own.
The beach was just across the road, far from crowded with a couple of really nice tavernas for lunch or drinks. The beach was clean but the problem was it was quite rocky getting into the water. I heard that it was
better closer to Rethymnon but it suited us to be staying in an almost rural area, though a 20 min walk took us into the next resort where there were lots of restaurants & bars to choose from. Even in our 'quiet' area, we had half a dozen tavernas, a bar & supermarket close by.
Rethymnon itself was a good half day out, or a pleasant evening. We spent 14 days there, but didn't do half the trips we could have done. We will go back in the next couple of years, though trying Turkey this year. I would recommend Rethymnon.
