Rethymno, Coastal Mediterranean city in northern Crete, Greece
The old town of Rethymno extends along narrow streets with stone buildings, arched doorways, and a Venetian port bordered by restaurants.
The Fortezza fortress, constructed in the 16th century by Venetians to protect against Ottoman attacks, stands prominently on a hill above the city.
The Renaissance Festival brings performances, exhibits, and music events to the streets and squares of the old town during July and August.
Visitors reach Rethymno by bus or car from Heraklion or Chania airports, as the city does not have direct air connections.
The Rimondi Fountain from 1626 continues to provide water through three lion heads while marking the center of Venetian-era Rethymno.
