Our take
White Swan holds an outstanding 9.6 from more than 800 reviews. It is in Kallithea, about 1.7 km from Rethymno Town, with an outdoor pool, a garden, a sun terrace and a hot tub. Bike and car hire make it easy to get around, and an airport shuttle can be arranged. It is not in the old town itself, so I would choose it for calm days by the pool with Rethymno a short trip away.
- ✓Consider renting a car to explore more of the Rethymno region at your own pace.
- ✓Take advantage of the bike hire to cycle to Rethymno Town or discover nearby scenic routes.
- ✓Spend an afternoon unwinding in the hot tub after a day of exploring the island.

Why guests love itWhite Swan is in Kallithea, about 1.7 km from Rethymno Town, which gives families a quieter setting with the town close by. Children have an outdoor pool and a garden to play in, while parents can use the sun terrace and the hot tub. Bike hire makes short rides around the area easy, and car hire is available for longer trips around Crete. An airport shuttle can also be arranged. I would book it for families who prefer a calm base just outside town.
