RETHYMNO
RETHYMNO TOWN
On the west side of Crete, where the sea lies harmoniously next to the mountains, is where the picturesque town of Rethymnon is located. With a population of 35,000, it is a vibrant city devoted to education and tourism. This well-preserved Renaissance city, is well-established as a city of fine culture, art and literature. The captivating paths of the Old Town, the Fortezza castle, the Byzantine churches, the Venetian Harbor, travel the visitor almost 4,500 years back. Nonetheless, the modern squares and the well-structured coastal road with its palm trees and the views of the beautiful Aegean sea, affirm the progress of a city that is constantly evolving, yet maintaining tradition consistent.
"Rethymno is not a place to visit, but aplace to return"!
