As Crete’s third largest city, Rethymnon has a lot to offer in terms of attractions. Wedged between Heraklion and Chania, this hotspot has its own style considering it was entirely rebuilt by the Venetians. In fact, it is the most representative example of Cretan Renaissance.
Spend your days soaking up its relaxing atmosphere from one of its many harbourside bars or wander its Old Town exploring its backstreets where vintage townhouses line the pavement. Right in the middle of the city stands an imposing fortress, which can be seen from just about every corner of the metropolis. As for beaches, you’ve got 10 kilometres of sand to play with.
