Rethymnon
Anyone could be forgiven for mistaking the hugely popular
package tour holiday resort town of Rethymnon for a sort of
Cretan-inspired theme resort, but the best thing about the town is
that its picturesque historic heart is actually genuine. The old
town is just that: old, its winding alleys overhung with pretty
wooden flower-bedecked balconies flaunt historic Venetian and
Turkish architectural influences. Fortunately a recent mad spate of
tourist development has left the old town untouched, so it can now
delight the many photo-happy visitors and serve as a bustling venue
for tavernas, restaurants and souvenir shops. To the east is one of
Crete's longest sandy beaches, which has become the target of
developers and is lined with apartment blocks and hotels.
Excursions are easily made to Heraklion, Chania or the monastery of
Arkadhi.
