The Axos Hotel is a cosy and pleasant apartment hotel, in a beautiful location just 100 m from a magnificent beach in the heart of Platanias, 6 km from the historic town of Rethymno on the island paradise of Crete. Along with a warm, friendly atmosphere and excellent service, this 2 storey white and terra cotta coloured building is built in an L shape that encloses the pool and garden and offers 44 well-appointed studios and apartments with modern amenities. This family run hotel was fully renovated in 2009, and is highly recommended as an alternative for those who want to explore majestic Rethymno and its surroundings but don't want to be confined within the city. Chania Airport is a 65 km from the hotel. Local Tips: Platanias is a well known seaside village for holidaymakers with restaurants, supermarkets, bars, stores with clothes or souvenirs and with very good bus and taxi transport.
