The 16th City Tour of Rethymno takes place on Sunday, May 17, with races starting at 09:00 from the Rethymno Municipal Garden (Dimotikos Kipos), which also serves as the finish line for all routes. The event is an annual road race that winds through the streets of Rethymno's city center, drawing local and visiting runners alike. Tourists staying in or near Rethymno should expect temporary road closures and increased foot traffic in the town center on Sunday morning, particularly around the Municipal Garden area. If you are planning to visit the Old Town, the Venetian Harbor, or the Fortezza that morning, allow extra time and consider arriving before 09:00 or after the races conclude. Spectators are welcome along the route and at the Municipal Garden finish line.
