It is a city in the north of Crete, Greece, on the Aegean Sea. It was a sea fortress in the Middle Ages and is now a quiet seaside town. There are beautiful harbours, long beaches and Venetian castles. The streets in the city are intricate, and the houses on both sides give people a sense of tranquility and freshness. It is a very enjoyable thing to spend an afternoon walking around. The local strong white wine is very famous, and there are cultural relics of the scenery of Rethymnon during the Mycenaean era.Rethymno · 530m from downtown

A very leisurely and peaceful town, facing the Aegean Sea and backed by the Venetian Castle. There are lovely trains and sightseeing buses around the city. You can buy tickets to the castle to overlook the entire town and the sea. It is very beautiful.
