Solmare Beachfront Apartments is a small family-run property located directly on the beachfront in the charming seaside village of Panormo, Rethymno, Crete. Our family has been welcoming guests since 1987, offering warm Cretan hospitality and a relaxing holiday experience by the sea. In 2026, the building underwent a complete renovation both inside and out, and the property was renewed and renamed Solmare Beachfront Apartments, formerly known as Glaros Beach Apartments. Today we manage four carefully maintained beachfront apartments, which allows us to offer a more personal and attentive hospitality experience for our guests. What makes our property special is its unique location right by the sea, the peaceful atmosphere of the traditional village, and our continuous efforts to upgrade and modernize the apartments while preserving the warm character of a family-run place. Guests can expect beautiful sea views, stunning sunsets, a relaxing seaside atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. Our goal is to create a comfortable and welcoming environment where visitors can truly unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Cretan coast.
