Top Things to do in Rethymnon
Top 10 Shopping in Rethymnon, Crete
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.

5.0 based on 4 reviews
In our workshop, we craft sacred Byzantine Icons and wall paintings, according to the Byzantine traditional technique mostly of the Cretan school. The raw materials we use for the crafting of these artifacts are of excellent quality: natural and industrial woods are used, isolation of the wooden support with prepared canvas, 22 carat gold leaves coating, mineral colors and always with Tempera technique (the yolk of egg is used) according to the Byzantine method and tradition. The sacred Byzantine Icon is not only and exclusively a worship mean, but a diachronic work of art, of beauty and esthetics. We accept orders of any kind of theme and dimensions you desire, with trust. We have also the possibility to paint frescos in churches, and temples within and outside Crete. We are looking forward to meet you and host you in our space, and see by yourselves the Byzantine work of art we craft in a daily base with care, faith and passion. Alexandra Kaouki-Melidoni.

A favorite shop to stock up on all my favorite Greek products. Giant bags of Oregano and thyme, all sizes of boxes of Greek Saffron. Dried Sea Buckthorn and mulberries. Hand collected sea salt. Mountain Herbs. Their top of the line Haluva is perfectly crumbly and not cloyingly sweet, best I ever had. This is a store to check each shelf if you like great ingredients. Their prices are very good. They are the first stop I make. There is a new branch in Heraklion I hear. I like both shops in Rethymenon.
