Rethymnon on the north coast of Crete is one of the island’s most popular and appealing towns.

A perfect mix of old and new, Rethymnon has all the necessary ingredients for an amazing holiday. The town is picturesque and full of character, packed with fountains, archways, Venetian architecture and ancient churches. It also boasts one of the longest stretches of sand on the whole island with a mixture of sand and shingle for 12 miles.

Days can be spent strolling and exploring the cobbled streets of the fascinating old town with cosy tavernas and colourful markets. Relaxing evenings can be spent at the beachfront with excellent seafood restaurants, while a buzzing nightlife keeps the town alive at night.

History and sightseeing are a big part of Rethymnon holidays, with the town’s famous archaeological museum and monasteries being unmissable. The old town is also home to a huge 16th century fortress, one of the largest ever built by the Venetians. The town and surrounding countryside will also appeal to nature lovers with the lush green forests and mountains perfect for hiking.

Handsome and historical with a magnificent beach, Rethymnon will provide a vibrant and memorable Cretan holiday.
