"Rethymnon" Rethymno by etfromnc

Rethymno Travel Guide: 165 reviews and 346 photos

This may be the closest thing to unspoiled Crete that is also relatively easily accessible. It lies about halfway between Heraklion and Chania and development is raising its sometimes ugly head but perhaps its rocky, hilly terrain is holding up its development somewhat. It is home to an impressive 16th-century Venetian waterside fortress, one of the island’s only surviving Ottoman minarets, a university with a rather cosmopolitan student body and faculty, and a harbor ringed by seafood restaurants.
