With its hot summer sun, and splendid beaches, Rethymno is not thought of as a year-round destination, however, it should be. If you listen closely, the town resonates with the sound of the Cretan lyra, while from the distance, where Mount Ida defies the skies, you can still hear the voice of the strongest of the gods, Zeus, the god of hospitality.
It’s this very hospitality that makes Rethymno the perfect place to stay in Crete, any day of the year. In the true spirit of filoxenia, it doesn’t matter when you arrive: the locals will open their doors, treat you with the best raki, and become your friends in no time.
