The Syntopia Hotel, Rethymnon

Brimming with quirky design details and comfortable nooks for relaxing and enjoying life, The Syntopia Hotel is a unique spot on the island. Close to the beach and within easy access of the main sights in Crete, this is an appealing place to stay for many reasons.

Rooms and suites radiate boho-chic, eco-friendly style, with balconies and terraces that look out over the sea, pool or inland. Some of the larger rooms have loungers as well as a table and chairs in the outside space.

The centre of life at the hotel is around the pools one of which is a large, lagoon-style affair with both pool beds and cushioned loungers. The roof garden is a magical place to spend time any time of the day, and it has an inviting pool and an array of seating options. The spa has a range of tempting treatments, a relaxation area and a hot tub where it's easy to lose track of time. Delectable food and drink is served in two restaurants and a bar and it's all inclusive too.
