DESTINATION

A prime location
By the sea & the city

Nautilux is ideally situated on the breathtaking beach of Rethymno, close to the picturesque Old Venetian Town of Rethymno, seamlessly blending seaside relaxation with easy access to the vibrant Greek culture, inviting you to explore the city’s rich cultural heritage.

Rethymnon will directly captivate you with its intriguing mixture of ancient history and vibrant island life. Discover the charming narrow streets of Rethymno’s Old Town, its cosmopolitan elements, a multitude of bars, tavernas, restaurants, shops and night clubs, and of course endless beaches. The rich tapestry of Cretan culture, tantalizing cuisine, vibrant nightlife and warm hospitality, promise an unforgettable experience.

As the third largest city in Crete, Rethymno has a long history dating back to prehistoric times and the first civilizations of the region to the later conquests by Venetians and Ottomans who have influenced its architecture with important historical monuments in the city.

Iconic landmarks are the Venetian Lighthouse and the impressive Fortezza Castle, among the best-preserved castles on the island. Crete is a magical place, a place bathed in the Mediterranean sun, endowed with a thousand beauties, from the green unspoiled nature of the mountain landscapes to the unsurpassed charm of its endless coastline. Blessed with sunshine almost all year around, Crete will captivate you with its rich history, stunning landscapes and beaches.

You can effortlessly access the prefecture by two airports, the airport of Chania or the airport of Heraklion, and then continue by car.
