Location Overview - Discover Crete
*TO SEE: Nestled in the picturesque seaside village of Panormo, Thalassa Residence is a haven of tranquility within walking distance of two stunning sandy beaches—Limanaki and Limni. Both beaches are ideal for families, with shallow, crystal-clear waters protected from the wind, and are fully equipped with sun-beds, umbrellas, and water sports facilities. For a more laid-back vibe, the unorganized harbor beach offers a glimpse of local life, as fishing boats gently dock in the small port. Just a 20-minute drive away, the vibrant city of Rethymno is a must-visit, offering a rich blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere.
*TO DINE: Panormo’s culinary offerings capture the essence of Crete. Enjoy freshly baked bread from the local bakery each morning or savor traditional Cretan dishes and fresh seafood at charming tavernas overlooking the sea.

Insider tip: Don’t miss the opportunity to pair your meal with breathtaking harbor views and warm, authentic hospitality.
*TO EXPLORE: Panormo’s central location makes it an ideal base for exploring Crete. Regular bus services connect the village to Rethymno, Heraklion and Chania every 30 minutes, while the enchanting city of Rethymno is just a short drive away (20 minutes). Wander through Rethymno’s cobbled streets, explore its Venetian fortress, or enjoy the vibrant cafes and boutique shops.
