Back to newsA giant komboloi (Greek worry beads) created in Rethymno is being submitted for a Guinness World Record. The oversized version of this traditional Greek accessory, deeply rooted in Cretan culture, represents a bid to put Rethymno on the world record map. Komboloi originated as a meditative and social tool in Greek culture, and the craft remains alive in Rethymno's old town, where small workshops and shops sell handmade versions. Visitors to Rethymno can explore the historic Venetian harbor area and the old town's narrow streets, where artisans still produce traditional komboloi. Picking one up as a souvenir is a common and authentic experience. No specific date for the record attempt was provided in the available report.
