About Rethymno — Your Destination

Rethymno is one of Crete's most beautiful cities. It blends Venetian and Ottoman heritage with golden beaches and a vibrant food scene, making it a perfect holiday base.

Old Town & Venetian Harbour

Rethymno's Old Town is a maze of narrow lanes, colourful buildings, and hidden courtyards. The iconic Venetian harbour and its 16th-century lighthouse are stunning at sunset — packed with waterfront restaurants and bars.

Fortezza Castle

The hilltop Fortezza Castle dominates the Rethymno skyline. Built by the Venetians in the 1570s, it offers sweeping views of the city and the Cretan Sea. In summer it hosts open-air concerts and cultural events.

Beaches

A 20 km stretch of golden sand runs east from the old town — crystal-clear water, sunbeds, water sports, and family-friendly beach bars. Further afield, Preveli Beach with its palm-lined river is a must-see.

Cretan Cuisine

Rethymno is a food lover's dream. Try local specialities like dakos, lamb with stamnagathi, and wines from nearby hillside vineyards. The old town tavernas serve some of the best traditional food on the island.

Arriving at Chania Airport (CHQ)

Chania International Airport (Ioannis Daskalogiannis) is located 14 km east of Chania city. After collecting your luggage, look for your driver holding a sign with your name in the arrivals hall. They'll help with your bags and take you directly to your vehicle — no waiting, no sharing with other passengers.
