Quaint section of tour with lots of dinning options. View from lighthouse is worth the short walk along the wall. Family with young kids enjoyed our trip there.

Lovely Venetian harbour, though not quite as pretty as Chania port and harbour.
Visited Rethmyno, Chania, and Heraklion whilst staying in Crete.
Rethmyno and Chania are the best by far.
I’d recommend staying this end of the island for your holiday to Crete.

It is really beautiful with a bay clear as day full of fish! We went to a lovely restaurant the 7 brothers. The only thing I. Didn't like so much is to push people on to your terrace. I understand but just let me look at your menu first.

An old harbor. Some walking area, mostly narrow. Careful with children. If you have a net you can catch some fish standing in water. But it is super slippery. Enjoy the views. Landscape and artifacts.

Nice harbor with fishing boats, pleasure boats, and excursion craft, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, and the stone break wall completed by a lighthouse.

The old harbour of rethymno is pretty nice, especially during night time. The only drawback is that it's a little small so it is not very comfortable to walk through.

Lovely old Venetian lighthouse overlooking the harbour. Lots of old buildings, surrounding the harbour and eateries where you can while an hour or two.
The town is not too big so everywhere is walkable.

lovely to sit and have a drink on an evening, watch out for the ladies selling roses though they can be a bit of a pest , however if you politely decline then they will leave you alone,
