Summer Holidays to Rethymnon

Rethymnon Sun Holidays Review and Guide

To take a summer holiday to Rethymnon is to see a Cretan town that is stubbornly and successfully clinging on to its heritage and traditional atmosphere despite the economic pressure of the tourist dollar. Taking a summer holiday to Rethymnon might seem provincial but it doesn’t mean lack of facilities in any shape or form. This is Crete’s third largest town and it has a beautiful harbour, a maze of intricately interwoven narrow streets and impressive Venetian and Greek architecture all watched over by the imposing fortress on the hill from where the most impressive views of your Rethymnon summer holiday will be captured. There are plenty of ancient sites of interest too including the Rimondi Fountain and the not so very old, new archaeological museum is a must for anyone who appreciates Greek’s history, ancient and modern. The town is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty with hills and caves and charming inland villages all ready for you to explore on a Rethymnon summer holiday.
