Ilian Beach Studios

3 readers found this review helpful

Ilian Beach has a great location - right on the beach in Missiria, a few miles outside Rethymnon. The apartments are not really geared up for families but perfect for couples - the pool area is nice and is generally quite quiet and peaceful. Tavernas and bars and shops just a few minutes walk away. The old town of Rethymnon is worth a visit but is further away than everyone says - it's a good 40 minute walk - but it's a nice walk along the beachfront, with bars and shops to break up the journey. If you don't fancy the walk, taxis are usually available at both ends of the road, for about five or six euros.
The studio apartment itself was kept spotlessly clean by a wonderful cleaning lady who came in every day except Sunday, with fresh towels every other day and clean sheets twice a week. The owners are all very friendly too - in general it's a lovely place that we would highly recommend.

We have just returned from two weeks in these superb apartments. They are very well furbished and finished and are immaculately clean both upon arrival and throughout our stay with bed lined and towels being changed every couple of days.
The owner is welcoming and friendly and I cannot reccomend the place too highly. We certainly hope to return there soon

The apartments themselves are fab. Spotless clean large and well equipped rooms with plenty of space by the pool and right on the beach. The owners are very welcoming and helpful.
The accommodation is in a mostly quiet area although the apartments next door are a little loud occasionally. You have to walk from the main road down to the apartments and while this is only about 400m it is through a bit of a rough looking area which can be daunting when you arrive at night. The complex itself is very clean, well presented but very small. (Don't expect to meet lots of people by the pool. When we stayed there was usually about 8 other people lounging most of the day).
The apartments back onto the beach so its literally 30 seconds walk to the sea. There are adequate tavernas within a 10 min walk of the resort although the centre of Rethmynon is a good 45 min walk away (or 5 mins in a taxi from the end of the promenade). If you are there to chill, relax by the pool, like the beach this is ideal. If you want more of a night life you should go for something closer into the town.
