Cruises from Rethymnon, Crete
Rethymnon is a beautiful city on the island of Crete, the largest Greek island. It was built in antiquity, and is rich in ancient history, most notably through the Minoan civilisation centred at Kydonia to the east. Today's old town is almost entirely built by the Venetians, and is one of the best preserved old towns in Crete. It has picturesque small lanes of shops selling mostly tourist goods and a newer area of town with normal shops.
