Find out more about Rethymnon

Rethymnon, an exceedingly well-preserved Venetian harbour town on Crete’s northern coast, is so rich in history and culture that you could spend months exploring it. The island’s third-largest city is home to a dazzling mix of Ottoman-era mosques, a behemoth fortress and cobblestone streets lined with Venetian buildings. Some of Crete’s most interesting museums – dedicated to everything from contemporary art to archaeological finds – can be explored on your Rethymnon holidays.
