Your Destination —
A maze of narrow cobbled streets lined with vibrant bougainvillaea, Rethymno is a charming town on the north coast of Crete, perfect for a memorable beach holiday. With buildings dating back to the 16th century and a host of Byzantine and Hellenic-Roman remains to discover, it’s possible to immerse yourself in Crete’s ancient past here while taking advantage of a beautiful seafront promenade and spacious beach.
The town’s historic centre was largely built by the Venetians in the 16th century, with popular attractions including the Loggia, the Rimondi Fountain, and the Fortezza, a defensive citadel. Or, take the short drive out of town to see the Arkadi Monastery, which played an active role in the Cretan resistance against the Ottomans.
When you’ve reached your fill of historic attractions, wander the quaint streets and dive into some traditional Cretan food from an authentic Greek eatery. Make sure to try kataifi, a dessert made with crispy dough, walnuts, and syrup, and fresh seafood such as sardines or mussels.
