A peaceful budget property surrounded by a large garden, The Pantheon Hotel is a 10-minute drive from Rethymnon's picturesque old town, and the hotel provides a free shuttle to its shops and restaurants. A peaceful location and good-sized pool make The Pantheon a popular option with older couples and families who want a budget-friendly base near (but not on) the beach. Rooms are fairly spacious and have balconies or patios, but mattresses are quite hard and air-conditioning costs extra.  Limited amenities include a restaurant for all-inclusive guests, a pool bar serving drinks and snacks, and a children's play area.
