A very Venetian harbour

A very Venetian harbour

After a visit to the Venetian harbour in Rethymnon, you’ll be fooled into thinking you’d just been to Venice itself. The Turks built this impressive harbour back in the 17th century and it still stands firm today as a busy ferry port. Amble along the waterside to find tavernas and enjoy deliciously fresh seafood dishes.
