1. Marianna's Workshop

We really wanted to go with Marianna on a foraging trip for herbs of Crete, which I believe normally happens on Wednesdays. We called up and she said it was too dry. Saving that for next time.
Nonetheless after our walk through Mili Gorge (see my other reviews) we drove up the Maroulas (its a hill town) to the shop arriving around 4:00 pm. She closes in the afternoon and re-opens 5-7 pm, so was closed.
After a late lunch /early dinner at the Taverna Armos, just up the road (fantastic views and food), we walked back down to her shop. Its cute - her son helped us. The herbs are more expensive than what you get at the open market places (like 1866 street in Heraklion), but the quality seems very high and she has nice herbal combinations for specific issues (dematological, weight management, etc).
She sells creams, ointments, etc. as well. I got a natural "bug spray" which worked well for the mosquitos, was light, refreshing. The mosquitos were fairly light at this time, and the spray worked fine. A good alternative to the chemical heavy citronella stuff.

The Atlantis Diving Center was founded in 1993 at the Rithymna Beach Hotel in Adelianos Campos near Rethymnon on the north coast of Crete by Giorgos Gioumpakis. Since 2002, there is a branch at the Grecotel Club Marine Palace in Panormo. The Atlantis team offers diving training with PADI standards for beginners as well as advanced training with diving trips. There are no mass dives but safe diving in smaller groups with individual care. This is first priority at Atlantis Diving Centers. The Atlantis Diving Centers are also ideal for families with children. Guests of the Rithymna Beach Hotel and the Club Marine Palace can let their children from 3 years upward being entertained at the hotels' Children's Camps which are affiliated to the hotels, whilst the parents enjoy their holidays.

My boyfriend and I did a one-day diving trip with Atlantis Diving Center in Crete. Everything went very smoothly and we found this diving center very professional. We had our own private instructor, Natalia, to accompany us as we don't have extensive experience in diving yet. Natalia has been great, explaining us about diving in Crete with a lot of passion and showing us many great things under water - we even saw a baby ray! We felt calm and save in her company.
I would recommend Atlantis Diving Center to everyone who loves diving or would like to learn it!
4. Gorge of Mili

Reviewed By mrbox - Cornwall, United Kingdom
We stopped off from the City bus tour to walk down through here. A very pleasant, peaceful couple of hours and a quirky taverna at the bottom. Get prepared beforehand with sensible footwear, water etc and maybe a little research, so that you know what to look for and what you are looking at. Met some people who were actually walking UP the gorge. Rather them than me
5. Olive Wood Traditional Workshop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4 reviews
Handmade kitchenware and home decoratives of resistant olive wood from Rethymnon. At the workshop, even though the passage of the years, everything works traditionally as it was working 20 years ago. From the one side is being housed the lab with old school machinery and on the other side there is the exhibition with the products.
Reviewed By Nick S - London, United Kingdom
We visited the olive wood traditional workshop on our way to the airport, having driven past it a number of times and admired the wares hanging up outside. Inside, however, there is a far wider range and far more items than you might imagine. Whats more, the proprietor was happy to show us around, describe where the products come from and offer to customise pieces by adding handles or holes for example.
If you're staying anywhere nearby, I would strongly recommend a visit. And if you're this close, you should also follow the road up to the Agreco organic farm where you can enjoy lunch or dinner (reservations only), have a tour of the farm and buy some amazing local food and beauty products.

The building was built in 1610 and was the summer residence of the noble Venetian family "Clodius". Villas were mainly of agricultural and stockbreeding character, as shown by their architecture which, other than the main manor house, it included rooms for workers and spaces for warehouses and stables.The museum has 8 chambers full of artifacts from various periods of international history. Summer opening hours: Mondays,Saturdays closed , Tuesday-Friday 8:00-14:00 , Sundays 10:00-15:00
Reviewed By mrbox - Cornwall, United Kingdom
Set in a beautiful restored villa, this is a small and interesting exhibition relating to WW2 and the Ottoman war. I felt it was a work in progress as at times it seemed a little sparse. However the young soldiers who oversee the place are very informative and helpful in their explanation of how the museum was founded. Some of the images are very poignant, and it is right that these events should be remembered as part of this Islands history...

The Monastery is situated little over 20 km southeast of Rethymnon and is a symbolic place of local resistance in its struggle for freedom ; here hundreds of people have lost their lives in 1866 in a decisive battle against the Turks ; originally it was a Venetian church from the 16th century; the front of the church displays eight Corinthian columns and a bell tower with three bells ; as we learn from the guides,the exact date of founding the monastery is not known ; between the 16th and 18th century,the monastery housed a rich library and a laboratory for gold embroidery ;

10. Rethymnon Old Town
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By dalton1skiing - London
The old town is a maze of narrow back streets, shops, market stalls and restaurants. Its easy to lose your bearings & end up going in the opposite direction, so take a map! The streets are cobbled, so wear comfy shoes and not heels! Certainly worth a look when in the area.
