\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tA walking tour of Rethymno Old Town<\/div>Overview<\/h2>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tSometimes Venetian, sometimes Ottoman but always unmistakably Cretan, Rethymno\u2019s Old Town hides its secrets in plain sight. A walking tour takes you through the original settlement of the city located on Crete\u2019s northern coastline, midway between Chania and Heraklion, introducing you to its distinctive buildings, street markets, narrow alleyways and historical monuments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll understand how the Old Town grew into Crete\u2019s third-largest settlement, spreading from the harbour in around 1300, and appreciate how it has retained its intimacy and colour despite its growth, with little bars, cafes and concept stores opening in refurbished buildings. In many of the tavernas, you can enjoy traditional Cretan food and music.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rethymno is one of Crete\u2019s best-preserved settlements. Look out for the ornate doorways decorated with Venetian crests, Ottoman mosques with minarets and the wooden facades of mansions all vying for your attention \u2013 before you emerge at the waterfront by the iconic harbour.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
