The newly built conference center of Theartemis Palace Hotel in Rethymno was visited by the Minister of Tourism, Olga Kefalogianni, as part of her tour of Crete.
It is a state-of-the-art conference center of high technical and operational standards, with social and environmental international certification, with a capacity of 600 people, with multi-modal facilities suitable to host conferences, seminars, and various promotional events.
Theartemis Palace Hotel & Conference Center is located in the center of the city of Rethymno and is another important addition to the collective local effort to enhance the image of Rethymno and Crete as a destination for high-standard international conferences.
