The Ideon emblematic hotel, one of the first hotels in Rethymno due to its location in the urban planning position of the Venetian City. With a view of the port and the sea.
It was built in the early 70s. It is a family business of the "Birlirakis" family, created by the brothers Nikos and Manolis in the difficult years before the organized tourist movement.
Fifty years later, the systematic Architectural modernization at all levels and its radical Static reinforcement were decided upon.
Important for the building due to its size and location is the systematic multi-year cooperation with the local Archaeology and the Central Archaeological Council.
After five years of completion of the works, it was put into operation in 2014.
