Old Town of Rethymnon

The Old Town of Rethymnon is a preserved Renaissance city that bears elements from both the Venetian and the Ottoman Era. In the old town, we meet the street markets of Arkadiou Street and Antistaseos Street , but also the narrow alleys where life still runs slowly and quietly.

Above the old town we meet the imposing fortress of Fortezza that once protected Rethymnon town . The picturesque streets host many restaurants and taverns with traditional music.
