Adelianos Campos is one of the hotel suburbs of ▶ Rethymnon on the island of ▶ Crete, in the eastern part of the bay.

During the season, the supply with restaurants, shops and touristic facilities of many kind is very rich.

Plenty of watersport offers can be found along the 15 kms long beach. The ▶ Atlantis Dive Center has its seat on the beach of one of the hotels in the neighbourhood.

Iraklion airport is 84 kms away, Hania airport 70 kms. With respect to the winding character of the motor highway, transfer times from and to the airports must not be underestimated.

A rental car will make you independent of public buses and tour organizers. We recommend to hire a car straight from the airport which also allows you an individual journey to our place.

The car rental agency Eurocars (▶ www.eurocars-crete.com) is said to be particularly reliable. Their website includes most comprehensive information on insurance, payment and all other important items.
