The city of Rethymno is located in the center of the island of Crete, between the cities of Chania and Heraklion. Founded by the Venetians.
The unique city of Rethymno (Rethymnon) will surprise its visitors with its unique architecture, narrow streets, carved window frames, Venetian portals, the old port and the massive fortress of Fortezza, which towers over all this splendor. And, despite the eternal dispute, which city is more beautiful, Chania or Rethymno, we believe that they are slightly different. Rethymno has its own character, its own history, its own charm and, even despite some external similarities, its own architecture and color.
Rethymno is a modern city with a charming historical center (Old Town), one of the 6 major cities of Crete. It is one of the most desirable must-see attractions on the island, enjoying immense popularity among tourists. Every year thousands of poets, artists, photographers, romantics find their muse and inspiration in Rethymno.
