Nestled along the northern coast of the beautiful island of Crete, Rethymno is a charming city that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. As the third largest city on the island, Rethymno is often overshadowed by its more popular neighbors, but this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit. With its picturesque old town, stunning beaches, and lively atmosphere, Rethymno has something to offer for every type of traveler.
One of the main highlights of Rethymno is its old town, known as the "Venice of the East" due to its narrow streets and beautiful architecture. Take a stroll through the winding alleys and discover traditional Greek houses, quaint shops, and charming cafes. The old town is also home to the impressive Fortezza, a 16th century fortress that offers panoramic views of the city and the sea. Another must-see attraction in Rethymno is the Venetian harbor, where you can admire the colorful fishing boats and enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many waterfront restaurants.
In addition to its rich history and culture, Rethymno also boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The long sandy beach of Rethymno stretches for over 12 kilometers and is lined with beach bars, water sports facilities, and crystal clear waters perfect for swimming and sunbathing. For a more secluded experience, head to one of the nearby beaches such as Preveli or Plakias, where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
