BIO HOTEL is 4* Superior class HOTEL complex with spacious Studios and Junior Suites, located in the heart of the city of Rethymno (1 Km from the old town with the Picturesque Venetian Harbor and 50 m from the sandy beach) but still in a very quite neighbor with low local traffic only.

It offers spa and fitness facilities, 2 swimming pools and a 24-hour front desk.

The 4-star hotel offers rooms and suites with double glazed windows. All units feature a microwave oven, satellite TV and Wi-Fi connection.

A rich American breakfast is served at the main restaurant Ariadne, situated next to the swimming pool. The Greek Tavern serves a menu of meals and snacks. The bar Nine Muses serves cocktails and drinks.

The spa area features a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a fitness room and a steam room. Massages are also available.

The hotel name “BIO” was chosen because the hotel was built on the location of one of the biggest olive oil extracting factories in Rethymno, operating from 1920 until 1940.

The name of this area was “BIO” which is the short version for the Greek word “Biomichaniki periochi  ” which means Industrial zone. The chimney, which is the only remaining structure of the original factory built in 1920, still stands tall in the centre of the newly built hotel complex. With a height of 45m and a diameter of about 3m it has been announced by Greek Ministry of Culture as an official monument of the early industrial period of Greece. It has been stabilized by the hotel on its expenses with iron rings in January of 2006.
