Rethymno

Rethymno awaits you with clear blue seas and Mount Psiloritis, there are traces of a civilisation that dates back 4,500 years, numerous Byzantine churches and monasteries, enchanting Venetian monuments. The most well-preserved Renaissance city in Greece, with endless beaches, caves, gorges and unique flora and fauna.
