Rethymno in the north of Greece lies between Chania and Heraklion. It is another city where also in winter live goes on, which we enjoyed after so many places which seamed abandoned after the tourist season in summer.

Fortezza of Rethymno |
We found a parking directly at the sea with views to the Fortezza, the Venetian citadel which looks over Rethymno. From here it was a short walk into the centre. Parking: 35.366199, 24.465159
