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.

Elounda is a small resort town located in the northern coast of Crete 70km east of Heraklion and is consisted by a network of seven villages and an unoccupied island. Elounda has gained fame as a luxury tourist resort with high-end boutique hotels and restaurants. Each year Elounda becomes a hub for celebrities and public figures that choose the region as their vacation destination.

Elounda is renowned for its gorgeous and pristine landscape. Visitors who seek a serene and peaceful seaside vacation would be delighted to find all this in Elounda. Moreover, Elounda is in a convenient location thus not completely isolated. The town lies on the edge of the scenic lake of Korfos Bay and overlooks the Spinalonga peninsula. Spinalonga is infamous for being the last operating leper settlement on the European continent. Initially, Spinalonga was attached to mainland Crete but during Venetian occupation was converted into an island and fortified for defence purposes.

The fortress is defended by 40 cannons that date back to the 15th century. The island was originally converted into a leper colony back in the 19th century and hosted its last residents in 1957. To this day the island remains uninhabited and is considered a place of great historical interest. It is also one of the most popular attractions in the area. The island is frequently serviced by small boats which makes it an ideal day trip for visitors.

In the centre of Elounda, one can find a picturesque fishing port. Around the waterfront, there are several bars and restaurants. Also, north of the port lies the nearest beach to the town, where visitors can take some time off from sightseeing. Expect to meet some crowds whilst there.
