The main entrance to the old town of Rethymno in Crete is the Guora Gate, also known as Megali Porta (Great Gate). It dates from the 16th century, from the Venetian period, and is the only surviving part of the old city wall.

View of Rethymno

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Fortezza of Rethymno (Greek: Φορτέτζα του Ρεθύμνου) is a ruined fortress within the city limits of Rethymno on the north coast of the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete. It is one of the landmarks of the capital of the Rethymno regional unit. The name Fortezza dates back to the time of Venetian rule over Crete and means 'fortress' in Italian; the Greek equivalent for fortress is Frourio (φρούριο) or Kastro (κάστρο).

At the beginning of our Crete vacation today we explored the fortress and the beautiful old town of Rethymno.
A fantastic city with many winding streets, quaint restaurants and a great old Venetian harbor.

A nice walk along the beach and the promenade into the beautiful old town of Rethymno.

But the weather isn't what we had hoped.

Hello everyone 🙂

Today I'm heading back to the beautiful Osnabrück region, where the Wiehen Hills and the Teutoburg Forest await me once again 🌲🥾🌳

I couldn't resist taking another city tour of Rethymnon to give you a glimpse of what it might be like as a potential travel destination.
