Crete Approves Funding for Rethymno Tourism Ad Campaign

The Region of Crete has approved funding for an advertising placement in the printed travel guide "Explorer Rethymno," a dedicated tourism publication covering the Rethymno area on Crete's north coast. The move is part of a broader regional effort to increase visibility for Rethymno as a destination, particularly among international visitors. Rethymno is known for its well-preserved Venetian old town, the 16th-century Fortezza fortress, and a long sandy beach stretching along the waterfront. Tourists visiting the area can expect to find the Explorer Rethymno guide distributed through local hotels, tourist offices, and arrival points. The guide provides practical information on attractions, dining, and activities across the Rethymno regional unit. Visitors planning a trip to western Crete may find the guide a useful on-the-ground resource for navigating the region.
