Pension Girogiali

Rethymno Province


Right on Triopetra’s long beach, this friendly pension has clean, basic rooms with marble floors and balconies. The mattresses are on the thin side, however. Its laid-back taverna offers fresh seafood to enjoy while gazing out over the water. Free sunloungers and umbrellas for guests.
