How does this grab you? A beach that's a stone's throw away. An array of bars and shops in the vicinity. And a chic hotel to boot? Well, you'll get all this and more from the Hotel Bio. First things first, though. Let's explain the name. There's a clue in the centre of the complex – namely a historical chimney. It dates back to the 1920's when the hotel site used to be an olive oil factory and local area was known as the Biomichaniki Periochi - or Bio for short. Translated, that means the industrial area. And while the factories have all long since vanished, the Hotel Bio gives a nod back to old days. In fact, its listed chimney has been deemed a cultural monument by the Greek Ministry of Culture and looks magnificent at night, all lit up. Bizarre names and history aside though, what can you expect from the Bio? Well, it's great if you're looking for a quiet retreat that's still close to all the action. What's more it was refitted in 2006 and so it's quite swish and decked out with all the mod-cons.

If you decide to take a holiday at Bio Studios And Apartments in the resort of Rethymnon you certainly have an array choices when it comes to sightseeing if you like to get around. The greek island of Crete is huge, so it is virtually impossible to see the entire island in a single holiday. The island of Crete offers bundles from gorgeous sands to pebble coves and breathtaking cliffs and it's steeped in legend as the home of the Minotaur!. Crete is literally soaked in aegean sun and dotted with ancient ruins, small villages, places to party and romantic locations such as Aghios Nikolaos and Elounda. The island of Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilisation which dates back over 4600 years. On the edge of Iraklion you can visit the remains of the ancient Minoan city of Knossos. The Minoan palace of Phaestos can be visited a few miles inland from the town of Matala on the south coast. The boulder strewn Samaria Gorge, situated on the western end of Crete, is world famous for walking, however be warned that the Samaria Gorge offers a sturdy hike from the hills to the sea. The extended summer months in Rethymnon also promises sunshine if you can get away for a week for a holiday at Bio Studios And Apartments.
