Das Eigentum — LUCKY SUITES
LUCKY SUITES is a straightforward, no-fuss 3-star hotel a few minutes' walk from Rethymno's old town. The lobby feels like a functional transit point – small reception desk, a couple of sofas, tiled floors – rather than destination lounge. It suits travellers who want a clean, affordable base for a night or two, with the beach and historic quarter on foot. The main draw is location, not luxury.
Chroniken von Rethymno
Rethymno has roots in the Minoan period, but its defining era was Venetian rule (1204–1669), when the fortress and harbour were built. The Ottomans added minarets and domes, creating the layered, east-meets-west character you see today. After union with Greece in 1913, the city grew as a commercial and agricultural hub, now balanced by a steady tourism economy. Contemporary Rethymno keeps its old-town barrio feel – narrow, winding streets, bougainvillea-draped squares, and a lively student population from the university campus.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rethymno-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September offer reliably warm, sunny weather (25-30°C) but with thinner crowds than high summer. The sea is swimmable from June.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the peak months: schools out, Europeans flood the coast, and hotel rates double or triple. The Rethymno Renaissance Festival (late August) draws additional visitors with open-air theatre and music.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late September and October offer 20-25°C days, 30-50% discounts on summer rates, and near-empty beaches. October still sees decent sun, though evenings need a jacket.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rethymno's climate quirk: strong northerly meltemi winds can whip up in the afternoon, making sea conditions choppy. Pack a light windbreaker and secure hat – it's less about rain and more about getting sandy in the gusts.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rethymno
- Rethymno's Old Town pedestrian zone has been extended to include more of Nikiforou Foka street – cars are now banned from 7pm to 2am in summer, making evening strolls easier.
- The city's new municipal bike-share scheme launched in early 2025 with 20 stations; pick up a card at the harbour kiosk for short trips between the beach and the Fortezza.
- Wildfire risk in the regional unit of Rethymno is elevated in July 2026 after a dry spring – check local emergency alerts and avoid lighting barbecues or smoking in natural areas.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to LUCKY SUITES, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 4th floor) for a quieter stay. These rooms are less likely to be disturbed by street noise from the Machis Potamon street, which can get lively in the evenings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd floor) near the lift, as these may be more prone to noise from the lift and other guests. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or bar may experience noise from staff and late-night activities.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Machis Potamon does not offer stunning views of the surrounding area. However, rooms on higher floors may have a glimpse of the nearby buildings and streets.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 and above should be relatively quiet, but keep in mind that street noise may still seep in, especially on windy nights.
🔊 Noise notes
Noise from the street, particularly from pedestrians and scooters, may be a concern for rooms facing Machis Potamon. Additionally, the hotel's location in a built-up area means that some background noise from surrounding buildings and traffic is inevitable.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and a glimpse of the surrounding area. Be sure to check-in early to secure a room with a better view, as higher floors may have fewer rooms available, especially during peak season.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and high-traffic tourist spots, which often charge poor rates and fees.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) are widely accepted in restaurants, shops and hotels; contactless is common; small tavernas and markets may prefer cash.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for good service in restaurants is appreciated but not mandatory; taxis: round up to the nearest euro; hotel staff: €1-2 per bag for porters, leave a small amount for housekeeping.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappé or freddo espresso at a local kafeneio costs around €3-4.
A gyros pita or souvlaki wrap from a street-side grill is €3-5.
A main course at a modest taverna (e.g., moussaka or grilled fish) runs €8-12.
The old town's side streets and the area near the Venetian harbour have numerous souvlaki and crepe stands; look for places busy with locals.
Supermarkets like Sklavenitis, AB Vasilopoulos and Lidl are common for budget groceries.
The main shopping streets (e.g., Arkadiou, Kountouriotou) have high-street chains (Zara, H&M) and local boutiques; a Saturday morning market (laiki) on Kountouriotou street offers affordable clothes and household goods.
Walking is best for the small town; local buses cost €1.20 per ride (no day pass); from Chania airport, take the KTEL intercity bus to Rethymno (around €10-12).
Eat where locals queue for lunch (away from the harbour front). Buy water and basics at a supermarket rather than tourist kiosks. Visit the Archaeological Museum on the first Sunday of the month (free entry November–March).

Top-Attraktionen in Rethymno
💡 Walk to the lighthouse at the end of the pier for a quieter view — most tourists stop halfway. The water is clean for a dip if you don’t mind concrete edges.
💡 Bring nuts or bread for the peacocks that roam freely — they’re friendly but watch your bag. Best in spring when the flowers are out.
💡 Go early morning (before 9am) to see it without crowds or shopkeepers setting up — the light is golden and quiet.
💡 It’s quiet on weekday mornings — you’ll often have the rooms to yourself. The audio guide is worth the €2 extra.
💡 Buy your ticket at the small booth by the main gate, not online. Visit late afternoon when the heat drops and the sunset lights up the harbour.
