Rest on retimno crit.

Rethymnon - one of the largest cities in the population of the island of Crete, is located in the Gulf of Almyros. The city has a very ancient history: the settlement, from which it was subsequently developed, was established in the XVIIth BC. A convenient location allowed Rethymno to grow quickly due to the sea trade of sweet wine.

The borders of the island are washed by the Mediterranean Sea. Rethymnon has beautiful sandy coasts. One of the biggest beaches of the island stretched for 15 km from Georgioupoli to Rethymnon. Between Rethymnon, Santorini and other parts of Crete and the nearby islands, the port of Suda and the port with the city of the same name Rethymno are used for transportation, from where it is possible to depart to Piraeus.

A beautiful promenade, sandy beaches, unusually beautiful streets, divergent beams in the old part of the city, contrasts of modern civilization and historical values, fascinate and attract the attention of everyone who steps on the land of Rethymnon.

Thanks to the wonderful climatic conditions, Rethymno Crete, like all other areas of the island, is an excellent resort area. Not far from the city are two other densely populated centers: in the west it is Chania, and in the east is Heraklion. From Rethymno there are a large number of buses to other parts of the island, but there is no airport in the city, so tourists come to the resort from Chania.

A very exciting journey awaits those who go on a cruise along the Aegean Sea: Rethymnon, Santorini and other wonderful places will be accessible to the admiring sight of the tourist. Sanatorini was formed in the XV century as a result of the earthquake. To date, this is just the rest of the crater once active volcano, at the base of which are neat little houses of village residents.

In addition to sightseeing and beach holidays, shopping is possible. Rethymno has a sufficient number of stores selling both clothes characteristic of the people of Greece, as well as clothing of famous brands.
