Rethymnon
Rethymnon is
located on the northern coast of Crete. Ιt is the capital of the homonymous prefecture and the
third largest city in the island, with a population of about 50.000.
It has a great
tourist activity during the summer, while the more than 10.500 active students
make the city alive even during the rest of the year.
Today's city is
built in the same location as ancient Rithymna, while the part of the old town
is one of the most well-preserved Venetian cities that one can visit.
In Rethymnon is the famous Fortezza fortress, the church of
the Lady of the Angels, the church of St. Frangiskos and many other buildings,
mosques and monasteries that witness the passage of the Venetians and the
Ottomans from Crete.
The
town has a long sandy beach and strong hotel infrastructure. Rethymnon is connected with many daily bus
itineraries with Heraklion and Chania, while it has a new, modern port with
itineraries to and from Piraeus.
Though some things are subjective, i would say that this is a very
romantic town.
