The Old City of Rethymno
A charming Venetian city with a picturesque harbor and romantic alleys
About This Place
The old city of Rethymno is one of the best-preserved Venetian cities in the Mediterranean. The narrow alleys, arched houses, traditional restaurants, and the picturesque harbor create a romantic and unique atmosphere.
The city maintains its Venetian Renaissance character from the 16th century, with Turkish influences from the Ottoman period. The Fortezza - the Venetian fortress overlooking the city - is one of the largest that survived from the Venetian period.
