One of our best apartments. It has a gorgeous balcony to enjoy the whole horizon, sea view and the venetian castle of fortezza. On the inside you will find a clean, well organized and really decent place to stay. A small kitchen with fridge is available along with wc, ac, free wifi and surely Real quietness (only the sea waves...)

The feelings on having your breakfast on the balcony or in the garden watching the sun rise above the fortezza is a picture you will never forget.

The apartment is very clean, a perfect choice for your stay. In addition we do offer cleaning service every 2 or 3 days, free of charge!.

Mamangakis Apartments are about 1,5km away the city center but it's a beautiful 20min walk or ride with your bicycle, taking advantage of the new bicycle route on the sidewalks of the town. Within a range of 100-150m you will find parking, the best restaurants in town (also right on the Sea), souvlaki place, courier service, Atm, bakery and internet cafe for your breakfast and other needs.

There is a bus stop right outside of our apartments that takes you to the university and another bus stop across the street that takes you to the city center.

Feel free to contact us for more information you might need!

Apt4 has a small kitchen with fridge, for some basic cooking tasks, its own Wc with shower, a balcony with a view you Will Never forget. The garden is available for all our guests and you may feel free to enjoy your meal or reading a book at your convenience. From the garden you step right on the beach! You do not have to walk outside the building or cross busy streets. You get direct access to the garden and beach from within the building. You will be surprised how close you will be on the sea!

As a host i am always willing to help and welcome my guests. Most of the times this is how it goes. But due to family affairs or business matters I am not always present at the apartments. However my mother who is living in the same building is also willing to help at all times. In addition airbnb messaging service is something that i follow almost 24hr so contacting me is easy. If you read reviews from my guests you will understand how much i value my guests' presence at my place.

Koubes is the name of our neighbourhood. It is the west side of the city centre. This place is blessed to have a beautiful small, almost private beach for it's residents. This area is also very popular for it's top of the line restaurants and lounge bars. There are quite a few to name. Try our next door restaurant or PrimaPlora (150m down the road) are both excellent!
Two doors down you will find Gallera another excellent taverna, very affordable with magnificent scenery and tasty dishes.
Cavo (close to Primaplora) is a lounge bar & restaurant, kind of club for the locals for a drink later in the afternoon or a little after midnight.
Across the street you may find a coffee place for croissants, coffees etc.
Going towards the city center you may find “noulis” another coffee and snack place a highly recommended one. A little bit further (250m from our apartments) there is a small mini market for basic stuff (such as groceries, milk to toilet paper)
In case you need a big supermarket you may keep going towards the city center and right before you get in it you will see a big building on your right which is Synka super market with emphasis on local products. Or you could go westwards from our apartments and uphill (about 700m) where you will find a Lidl s/m (better if you have a car). A bank Atm machine is available little before reaching city center.
Our location is a great value for you vacation. Not far from city centre but far enough to avoid crowds & traffic. You are right on the beach with jaw dropping sea view, very close to the city’s main bus terminal (just a 10min walk) and finally very close to the island’s main highway that gives you the opportunity to explore the rest of the island fast and easy enough avoiding local traffic.

The main bus terminal (aka Ktel) is only a 10min walk from our apartments. Taking a taxi from city centre to our apartments or vice versa is not more than 5€ - 7€. In addition the island's main highway (aka Voak) is only 700m away (uphill), a 2min drive and you are on the highway and on your way to the ends of the island or its airports.

You may reach Rethymno and our apartments in 3 different ways. By car rental, by taxi or by bus.
• Renting a car i would say is the best way and the most affordable. It might be a bit stressful on the street but not that hard for a medium & careful driver.
• Taking a taxi either from the airport or with an arrangement (i could arrange such a taxi for you) would cost you from 90 euros (arranged taxi) to 120 euros (airport taxi).

• Finally you could also take the bus which would be the most affordable way but a bit of a trouble. You first you should take a taxi to the city center of Heraklio or Chania (whichever airport you land) and to the Ktel bus service main terminal. From there, there is a bus every hour departing to Rethymno's Ktel bus terminal. From Rethymno main bus terminal (ktel) we are a 10-15min walk or a 5-7euro taxi.
As of 2016, Ktel service offers direct connection rides from Chania airport (only) to Rethymno bus terminal 3 times the day, morning, noon and evening. Either find out specific times on Ktel's webpage or ask me as they do change overtime.

Well in Rethymno you will be able to do quite a few things... apart from eating and shopping...

f. rent a car and explore more countryside or the south part of the island which is rich with super amazing beautiful beaches and sceneries.
g. have a tattoo... many tattoo artists around.
h. go on a safari trip ... with an off road jeep or atv
i. get on the pirate ship for a nice cruise
j. arrange a hike to Samaria gorge... bus picks you up from the apartment
k. visit the water parks in Chania or Heraklio
l. visit Knossos, archaeological monument in Heraklio... bus picks you up from the apartment
m. have a day trip to Santorini (Tuesdays and Saturdays only i think)
n. get on the red bus for a city tour and view the city from the bus roof...
that's all i can think out of my head right now... you could always visit a travel agent for more attractive activities.
