Rethymno

The third largest city in Crete showcases its rich historical heritage in the picturesque alleys of its old quarter. Visitors can admire the well-preserved medieval architecture, the Venetian Loggia, the Rimondi Fountain and the small Venetian harbor with its iconic lighthouse. Another notable landmark is the Fortezza Fortress, which majestically overlooks the old town from Palikastro Hill.
