The Venetian port of Rethymno is a famous harbour located near the old town on the northern end. The picturesque harbour is lined with fishing boats and is known for its calm, crystal clear, and turquoise waters. Several cafes, bars, and restaurants specialising in traditional Cretan cuisine are situated along the port. Visitors can also take a short stroll along the promenade area to the 17th-century lighthouse, located at the end of the waterfront.
Enjoy a fishing session or take a boat trip to the nearby islands. Rimondi Fountain, Fortezza, the Archeological museum of Rethymnon, and the Venetian Loggia are some must-visit attractions within the old town of Rethymnon.
