"From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a very welcoming host. He was always available whenever we had questions. The villa was absolutely beautiful and spotless, and the pool quickly became the kids’ best friend throughout the holiday. The old town of Rethymno was just a 20-minute drive away. All in all, a perfect stay – Alexandros was the man with the big smile and always ready to help."

It's also when all the beachside amenities and tavernas are in full swing, offering a complete holiday experience.

As another option, May is a fantastic shoulder-season month to consider.

What beach activities should we do in Rethymno?
The best beach activities in Rethymno include swimming and sunbathing at Rethymno Beach, as well as exploring the water sports on offer further along the coast.

Rethymno Beach is the main stretch of sand directly fronting the city, extending eastwards for several kilometres. It's a long, sandy beach with shallow, calm waters, making it ideal for a relaxed day by the sea. You'll find plenty of organised sections with sun loungers and parasols available to rent, especially closer to the town centre. There are also numerous beachside tavernas and cafes where you can grab a drink or a bite to eat without straying far from the water.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach day will appreciate Rethymno Beach's convenience. You can easily walk to it from most central hotels, and it offers all the amenities you need for a comfortable day of sunbathing and swimming together. The gentle slope into the sea is superb for a leisurely dip.

For those interested in more active pursuits, the eastern end of Rethymno Beach, particularly around the areas closer to Adelianos Kampos and Platanias, offers a wider range of water sports. Here, you can often find options like paddleboarding, jet skiing, and parasailing. These areas are a bit further from the immediate city bustle, offering a slightly more open feel for these activities.

Families with older children might enjoy these water sports options.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Rethymno as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Rethymno for you.
