Rethymno is an absolute gem of Crete, a place where history, beauty, and charm come together in perfect harmony. The old town is like stepping into a fairytale, with its winding alleys, Venetian arch…Full review by afonso s

The pearl of Rethymnon, at the end of a nice boulevard begins this old center, full of shops, restaurants and small terraces. The atmosphere is cozy, friendly and you can enjoy shopping until 10:00 P…Full review by 527raffiec

Hi everyone, we have visited Crete several times but now want to explore the opposite side to the island so looking to book in May 2020. Is 2 weeks too long to spend in Rethymno? We would most likely hire a car for adventuring but not sure if 1 week in Rethymno/1 week Chania would be better or 2 weeks in R. Any advise woudl be really welcome.

There is a sandy beach all along the front, but it is one of those crowded beaches with beds and brollies, the wind can be strong making for big waves and all this week the red no swimmer flags have been up. If you want calmer secluded beaches the best ones are on the islands other side. Two and a half hours bus ride, so recommend a hire car. Look out especially for Elafonissi beach, pink sands and blue lagoons.
Hi I am gong there in a few weeks time, any suggestions on places to visit. Also did you get a taxi or a bus to the village, as I have not sorted out my transfer from Chania. Also thinking of hiring a car, is there any parking around Thank you

Hi, as we stayed in the middle of the island we rented a car from Chania Airport and drove all around the island. My advise is to park the car at the port of Rethimno. There is a free parking next to the paid one and the boats docks until 5 pm. Afterwards my advise is to use the paid parking. It is not expensive at all.
