What to do in Rethymno
Rethymno is a beautiful beach town on the north coast of Crete. As the largest Greek island, Crete is blessed with many towns along the coast, but Rethymno stands out for its pretty Venetian harbor, an excellent range of restaurants and tavernas, as well as its long sandy beach.
