Rethimno (Rethymnon)

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Rethimno as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Rethymno is located in the north end of the prefecture and in the middle of Crete, built by the sea and is a city with many faces. It combines the conveniences of a large city with the beauty of an old town. Both elements will mesmerize you.

Every visitor's first stop in the city should be Lotzia, a very well-preserved Venetian building from the 16th century that houses the public library and can be found in the old town. Lotzia is a place of great historical interest, as it used to be a forum for noblemen and other prominent figures, where they would congregate in order to discuss matters of public affairs and commerce. Another sight of great interest is the Fortezza in Paleokastro hill. The fortress dates back to the Venetian occupation and visitors are admitted through the central entrance, into an arcade that leads to the interior of the castle.

Despite being the third largest city in the island, Rethymno maintains a unique character that transports visitors back in time. With well-preserved features that date back to the times of the Ottoman Empire and Venetian occupation. Rethymno is very charming and has a very relaxed 'small town' feel, wrapped in the hot Mediterranean sun, it maintains a unique oriental atmosphere similar to the port cities of Maghreb and Anatolia. The city combines Orthodox and Catholic churches, mosques, Venetian mansions, arches and cobble streets, making it one of the most well preserved medieval cities in Greece. The harmony and beauty of Rethymno will evoke feelings of awe and will excite even the most demanding visitors. Definitely a 'no miss' from any traveller's itinerary. The feeling you get from this lovely town will be something memorable. You will travel through time and you will enjoy Crete at its best.

Analipsi

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Analipsi as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. The village of Analipsi is located 20km east of Heraklion and takes its name after the church of the Ascension of Christ. It is located in a fertile valley, cultivated mainly with olive groves. It is also known as Analipsis Hersonissou, as it is very close to the seaside resort of Hersonissos.

Tourist development in Analipsis began very recently and that sets her apart from other seaside resorts in the area. Thus, Analipsis maintains a very authentic Cretan character. Once you enter the village you will be surrounded by white houses with beautiful gardens and olive groves. One can stroll around the alleys and the stone-paved square, which is reasonably lively in the afternoon. Many shops and cafes can be found in the main commercial street of the village, which runs upright the coast.

One very picturesque sight traveller can visit is the little church in the beach of Analipsis. The waves are leaping at the underpinning of the church, thus creating a very scenic landscape which is adorned in the typical imaginary of travellers over what quintessential Greece looks like.

East of the church the main beach of Analipsis is located, which is reasonably long, sandy and organized with umbrellas and sunbeds. In the west side of the church, the coast is covered by unsmooth rocks and most people do not prefer it for swimming unless they want to spend some quiet time or take a walk below the tamarisk trees.

If you walk further west you can find a small, sandy cove which offers shelter from the summer winds and the sea is rough elsewhere. At the mouth of Apostemis creek lies another sandy beach. Due to its proximity to the river, one can find a few ducks waddling around.
