Back to newsCrete is making new investments in gastronomy, culture, and tourism centered on the city of Rethymno. The initiative signals a regional push to develop culinary experiences and cultural offerings alongside traditional tourism infrastructure. Rethymno, located on Crete's northern coast between Heraklion and Chania, is already known for its well-preserved Venetian old town, historic lighthouse, and traditional Cretan cuisine. Visitors to the area can expect an expanding scene of local food experiences, cultural programming, and tourism services as these investments take shape. Travelers planning a stop in Rethymno should explore the old town's tavernas for authentic Cretan dishes such as dakos, lamb with stamnagathi, and local cheeses, and watch for new cultural events and venues emerging from this development push.
