7 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Rethymnon That You Shouldn't Miss
Rethymnon is one of the most well-preserved Venetian old towns on the island of Crete. Its 16th-century buildings are stunning examples of ancient architecture, and the monolithic Fortezza reflects both European and Moorish influences. Explore the magical waterfalls, rock formations, and ‘"cave church" of Saint Anthony Gorge before taking a pleasant evening stroll along the colorful Venetian Harbor. Relax in a taverna over a plate of Cretan meze, like fresh feta drizzled with local olive oil.

This formidable fortification is spectacular. First of all, it was (and is) in a great location, overlooking the sea. Walking through this area was like stepping back in time.

Nice fountain among shops and tavernas.I wouldn't go looking for it as normally when doing the old town you should come across it. An ancient hidden gem among all the modernity.
