Rethymno is probably the most friendly, warm, humane and quality city in Crete. A city that lives every day as if on vacation.
Start at Fortezza Fortress and let it tell you old war stories. Browse the streets of the Old Town and try to locate the Turkish and Renaissance elements that make up its enchanting surroundings. Try authentic flavors, talk to locals, and live for a while like a local.
Rethymno is 36 km away north of Plakias. You only need to follow the provincial road of Plakias-Rethymno. It is a wonderful route through canyons and a rich natural environment.
