Myli, Rethymno, Heritage village in Rethymno, Greece.

The settlement consists of Old and New Myli, located at 270 meters elevation, with 39 residents distributed between both sections of the village.

The first documented water mill in Myli appears in a notarial deed dated May 31, 1643, marking the beginning of the recorded industrial activity.

The village contains multiple Byzantine churches, including Saint John built into rocks, Saint Anthony, Holy Cross, and Saint Nicholas.

Visitors can access the village through a marked path that leads past stone channels, restored mills, and the church of Saint Paraskevi.

The natural water system powered numerous mills along the river, creating an extensive network of pre-industrial grain processing facilities.
