We stayed at Anita Beach for a week and rated it highly for a 3* hotel. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and decorated well. AC & WIFI were free and worked well. There is a safe that you can pay €2 a day in the room but we did not feel the need. There are tavernas and mini-markets within a shirt walk. The beach is a couple of minutes walk. Breakfast was included; basic but always fresh. Definitely would go back and recommend it for other couples who do not want to be in the busiest area but not too far from it. To get to Rethymno Town was about a 30 minutes slow walk. We did it a few times but we also caught a taxi as it was just so hot. A taxi was €6 and the nearest taxi rank was at the beach (2 minutes walk). The old town is lovely. Many, many restaurants and shops. Taverna proprietors do ask you to come in and eat but if you don't want to just say so. In general we paid about €35 for a meal for 2 with some alcohol. There is always a freebie given such as a small dessert or drink. There is a market that sells fruit and veg, clothes etc in the centre on Thursday and Saturday. There is an open top bus ride (€15 per adult) which takes you around the town and out to local attractions just outside such as a military museum, a gorge and a monastery. If you want to go into an attraction you pay extra. The beach is mainly sandy, with a few pebbles nearer the water. Beach shoes help as the sea is rocky. You can hire 2 sunbeds with a shade very easily. These are €6 for the day or free if you buy drinks from the taverna who supply them. The beach is clean, although one day my husband found a syringe on the beach so just be aware. You can book trips or hire a car very easily. We hired an A class car for €30 and drove to Chania, stopping off at various places in between. The main road is easy to use. Overall, we really enjoyed our Crete holiday. The weather was great (28 to 33c). We would certainly recommend the hotel and Rethymno.
