Rethymno  is the capital of the Prefecture of the same name and is built between two other large cities of Crete. In the east is Hiraklion (80 km) and to the west is Chania (60 km).

It lies along the north coast, having to the east one of the largest sandy beaches in Crete (12 km) and to the west a rocky coastline that ends up to another large sandy beach.

It is the administrative, communications and commercial center of the Prefecture with approximately 25.000 inhabitants.

Rethimno city  is a typical small Mediterranean town with its Renaissance architecture, Venetian fortress, museums and beaches. As for the surrounding province, the difficulty is in deciding what should we paid attention to first!  The endless beaches, the monasteries and the churches, the ancient sites or the Venetian and Turkish monuments? The area is rich in characteristic villages and areas of great natural beauty, as well as caves and soaring mountains. Of course we cannot forget the local people, famous for their hospitality, as still untouched by massive tourism, who will be glad to share a glass of "raki" with you when they meet you.
