Article 2 - Exceptional sceneries in the old Rethymnon Town

Post Pic

An evening walk in the old Rethymnon, along the port and in the hidden picturesque alleys will reveal an entirely different version of the busy and modern Rethymnon.

The distinct architecture of the old town has been well preserved. All buildings, homes, bars, shops and hotels have retained their traditional character. An ewvening walk turns to a romantic, pleasant and unexpected experience. You will get the chance to shop various interesting ornaments made of wood, iron or clay, local hand made embroideries, old photos and books and even some modern souvenirs.

If you want a break, enjoy a good cup of coffee in one of the local traditional coffee-bars and gain your strength fpr more shopping and wondering around.

Article 1 - Our Rethymnon nightlife experience

Oh! these lovely bars of the old town have kept us awake till the first morning light during our first day in Rethymnon ...

After a gastronomical survey of our favourite restaurant's menu it was time for some drinks. We decided to visit more than one bars and decide for ourselves which would be our favourite. We enjoyed good quality drinks and a bit of after-midnight dancing to burn some calories. Eventhough it was middle of September, most of the bars were packed with people, many of which were locals.

Such an evening left us a bit tired and unable to follow our previously arranged plans of an early morning start. No regrets though!
