Camping Elizabeth in Rethymno (Crete)

Camping Elizabeth sits directly on a sandy beach, with the sea a 10-second walk from the reception area. The property has a square shape that keeps accommodation spaced apart, giving guests privacy even during the busy August season. Free sunbeds and umbrellas are available on the beach, and a beach shower is provided for rinsing off salt and sand.

The hotel offers 12 room types including caravans, bungalows, and glamping tents. The glamping tent has its own WC and shower, while the Luxe Caravan with WC & Shower offers air-conditioning that guests pay extra for. Igloo Tents and Canvas Bell Tents come with a fan, clean linens, and towels changed once per week.

The beach taverna serves breakfast and dinner daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, with a menu that includes pork Souvlaki served with Greek salad and fries. Guests can order wine and champagne at the taverna, and special diet menus are available on request. Barbecue nights are held regularly, with grilled shrimp as a popular dish.

Two main toilet and shower blocks - one on the left and one on the right margin of the field - are cleaned daily. A shared kitchen with a fridge and cold drinking water station is located in the middle of the camping field. The hotel provides luggage storage, laundry service, a paid shuttle, and public transport tickets for guests.

Guests can join walking tours, watch live sport events, or attend happy hour at the taverna. The beach has pebbles and stones that can make entry difficult on wavy days, but the calm, uncrowded shoreline offers peace. Rethymno Old Town is a 4 km walk along the beach, and a large market is 10 minutes away on foot.
