5, Machiton Scholis Chorofilakis, Rethymno Town, 74133, Greece

Exuding old-town charm and a comfortably relaxed pace of life, Crete’s third-biggest town, Rethymno, is a picturesque Greek island paradise. You’ll find mediaeval streets to saunter down, historic treasures that hearken back to 16th century Ottoman rule, Venetian fortresses and harbours, and of course, excellent Cretan food and drink to indulge in. By day, you can soak up the sun on the golden sands of nearby beaches, explore archaeological treasures and learn about traditional artisanal crafts in local workshops and markets, while by night, it’s time to bask in the sunset views and unwind. Boasting wonderful views and a plentiful choice of bars and restaurants to take your pick from, the harbour is the ideal place for a romantic dinner, with the impressive Egyptian lighthouse serving as a landmark.
