The Old Town of Rethymnon is built on the promontory of the northern beach that juts out from the land and extends into the sea.

Through a complex of two- and three-story houses, the minarets of the Ottoman mosques, the 19th-century bell tower of the Metropolitan church and the lighthouse at the mouth of the harbor emerge, which as they rise into the sky contribute to the picturesqueness of the city, enriching it with variety and color. The Venetian fortress that today dominates the hill of Palaikastro and rises proudly above the Cretan Sea completes the unparalleled image of beauty and charm.
