Discover the Charming Town of Rethymno, Crete, Rethymno, Greece

Rethymno, Crete, with its delightful small-town charm and long history, is a popular destination on the Greek island of Crete in the Mediterranean. Thousands of tourists from all over the world travel here every year. Many fall in love with this charming little town with a very long beach and a well-preserved old town.

Rethymno is located roughly halfway between Chania and Heraklion, making it perfect for a day trip from either city.

Rethymno’s Old Town is one of Greece’s best-preserved, with a history that stretches far back in time. Many of the buildings date from the Venetian and Ottoman periods.
