The Location

Rethymnois situated on the western side of island of Crete, between the prefectures of Chania and Heraklion. There are beautiful beaches, archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, old villages, and cosmopolitan resorts, Rethymno is one of the most beautiful places in Crete.

The Surroundings

If you manage to peel yourself away from the beautiful Rethymno beaches, you should set off to explore the region! In Rethymno Crete, you’ll find many sights, such as the Monasteries of Preveli and Arkadi, the Ideon Cave, where Zeus grew up according to mythology, as well as many gorges.

The city

Rethymno Town, the capital of Rethymno Greece, is the center of activities. Strongly influenced by the Venetians, Rethymno Town boasts elegant architecture and a picturesque port. Off Rethymno Old Town, there are many cosmopolitan beach resorts, such as Bali, Agia Galini, Plakias, and Adelianos Kampos. If you prefer laid-back places, a drive around the prefecture of Rethymno will bring you to many secluded coves, where you can enjoy total privacy.

Whether you’re after relaxing holidays or an adventurous escape, Rethymnon is your best choice!
