THE AREA

Whether you're into culture, cuisine, nature or art, Rethymnon has it all. The third largest city of Crete is a fascinating mix of wild beauty, old-world charm, and modern style.
The prefecture is full of beautiful beaches, archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, quaint villages, and cosmopolitan resorts.
Rethymno town, the capital of Rethymno, is the center of activities. Strongly influenced by the Venetians, it boasts elegant architecture and a picturesque port.

If you are in town on a Thursday or Saturday morning, you can check out the open-air market, called the Laiki, while those in town on Wednesday afternoon can visit the farmer's market.
Today the city's main income is from tourism and many new facilities have been built in the past 20 years. Agriculture is also notable, especially for olive oil and other Mediterranean products.
The northern and southern coasts are fringed with beautiful beaches that are absolutely worth the visit.

Rethymno's convenient aspect is that it is nearly equidistant from both main airports, Chania and Heraklion - meaning many more flight options!
Venture outside of town to see the spectacular gorges, mainland villages, and exotic beaches of the Libyan Sea in the south. A hike along Kotsifou Gorge, for example, is a great way to see Crete's historic sites and natural beauty in a day.

Of course, when you simply want to kick back and cool off at the beach, 12 km of golden coastline stretches along the east side of the city.

And don't worry if you get hungry or thirsty. There are plenty of fantastic beach bars and restaurants just begging to be discovered.
