Rethymno is a versatile city in the prefecture’s northern part, nestled along the coastline.

It has a rich history dating back to the Later Minoan III era under the name Rithymna. Despite its ancient roots, Rethymno has evolved into a modern city while retaining its traditional elements. To reach Rethymno, you can take a boat from Piraeus, fly to Chania from Athens, and then drive for 60 km.
