The "Days of Sculpture" festival has wrapped up in Rethymno, on Crete's north-central coast. The open-air sculpture workshop ran from May 8 and brought artists together to create works directly in the city. The finished sculptures will now be permanently displayed across Rethymno and surrounding villages within the municipality. For visitors, this means new public art pieces are being added to the urban landscape, making the city's streets and neighborhoods more visually rich. Rethymno is already known for its Venetian harbor and well-preserved old town, and these sculptures offer an additional cultural layer to explore on foot. No entry fee or tickets are required to enjoy the works, as they are installed in public spaces throughout the area.
