Situated in western Crete, Rethymnon is known mainly due to its Venetian fortress which dominates the resort. The Fortetsa overlooks the fishing harbour and was originally built in the 1570s to defend the port against possible pirate attacks. There's also a 13th-century lighthouse, small church, mosque, museum and old fort to satisfy your cultural hunger. But Rethymnon offers more than cultural satisfaction. The seemingly endless sand and shingle beach is a popular place to spend the sunny Cretan days, while the town centre makes a good location for a spot of shopping and dining al fresco.
