4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

The old town is a compact collection of vibrant, colourful narrow streets and alleys with a charming, small harbour and ancient fortification. There's a great range of shops and restaurants and many interesting places to visit around Rethymno.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

We have been to Rethymnon many times, we love all the little backstreets, the range of tavernas and the friendliness of the people.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Rethymno is a beautiful historic town surrounded by nice beaches and with a beautiful mountainous back drop. A great base for a holiday in Crete, with plenty of affordable places to eat and drink. Nearby city of Hania well worth a visit too.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Old town was brilliant - lots of great restaurants which are better value than right on the harbour or seafront

5/5 - Excellent

Very safe , crime free and really friendly people.

I love the place. 3 visits every year for 10 years. Yet find something new all the time. Old town is amazing and very safe. We have no worries wandering around at 2am. On a night police close the roads, so safe to walk without traffic about
