Lithos S., Prinés

Lithos S. is a self-catering stay in Prines, Greece, suited to travelers who want space, privacy, and a slower rhythm while still reaching Rethymno’s sights by car. The property sits on Χρήστου Αετ. Τζιφάκη, and the setting feels distinctly residential rather than hotel-corridor busy. With a guest rating of 8.5/10 from two reviews, expectations are best set for a quiet, comfortable base where cleanliness and calm matter.

Inside, the layout is designed for longer stays, with a 1-bedroom holiday home that includes a living area and a fully equipped kitchen, making it easier to handle breakfast and simple meals without planning every day around restaurants. Air conditioning helps you stay comfortable when the weather turns warm, and a terrace gives you a place to linger outdoors. One of the standout touches is the hot tub/Jacuzzi in one of the two bathrooms, which guests typically appreciate for unwinding after a day of exploring.

The practical side is covered too: the accommodation is non-smoking, rooms are disinfected between stays, and cashless payment plus contactless check-in/check-out are available for smoother arrivals and departures. Pets are allowed, which can be a deciding factor for couples or families traveling with companions.

In terms of nearby landmarks, Arkadi Monastery is about 3 km away, while the Venetian Harbour in Rethymno is roughly 10 km from the property. Fortezza Castle and the Rethymno Lighthouse are also in the same general area, so day trips and evening strolls are straightforward. Lithos S. is best for couples and families who prefer a peaceful base with self-catering flexibility and a relaxing soak at the end of the day.
