Old Harbor, Rethymno

Highlight • Historical Site

The harbor was already in operation in Byzantine times after 961 AD and gained importance during Venetian rule from the 13th century onwards. The Venetians built the stone mole and repeatedly made efforts to keep the harbor basin free of deposits. After the Ottoman takeover in the 17th century, the new rulers added the lighthouse at the end of the mole, which still stands today.

Small but nice. Annoying are the places where you can not pass without being addressed.

Venetian Loggia of Rethymno

Highlight • Historical Site

The Loggia was built in the 16th century and designed by the famous architect Michel Snamicheli. Loggia was an important building in the city center and was a meeting point for the nobility to discuss political and economic issues. The building is very well preserved; it is square and has arches on three sides (besides the west side). The consoles of its roof structures are spectacular. During the Turkish occupation, the Loggia became a mosque and a minaret was erected, which was later demolished in 1930. In the last 40 years, the Loggia building housed the city's archaeological museum, which has since moved to a building next to Fortezza. Today Loggia houses a market of archaeological art copies.
