Dalabelos Estate, Mylopotamos

Dalabelos Estate is a 3-star retreat in Ageliana, in the Mylopotamos area of Crete, GR, set up for travelers who want a quieter base while still reaching Rethymno by car. The property sits at Ageliana, Mylopotamos, Crete Island 74052, and the surrounding countryside feel is part of the appeal, especially if you like slow mornings in the garden or time on the terrace. Guests consistently rate the stay 10/10 in a small set of reviews, with recurring praise for the personal touch and the ease of settling in.

Inside, the lobby fireplace adds warmth for cooler evenings, and free WiFi helps you plan day trips without hunting for a signal. When you want to cool off, the seasonal outdoor pool is a simple, low-key option, and the picnic area gives you a practical alternative if you’d rather eat outside. Express check-in and luggage storage also make a difference for arrivals and departures, particularly when your schedule is tight.

From Dalabelos Estate, Rethymno Old Town is roughly 27 km away, where you can wander the Venetian streets and harbor. Arkadi Monastery is about 30 km from the hotel, offering a memorable historical outing. Fortezza Castle in Rethymno sits at around 29 km, giving you another well-known landmark for views and photos.

This is best for couples and families who prefer a calm, rural setting with straightforward access to Rethymno’s sights, rather than staying in the middle of town.
