The Old Town of Rethymnon is a preserved Renaissance city that bears elements from both the Venetian and the Ottoman Era. In the old town, we meet the street markets of Arkadiou Street and Antistaseos Street, but also the narrow alleys where life still runs slowly and quietly. Above the old town we meet the imposing fortress of Fortezza that once protected Rethymnon town. The picturesque streets host many restaurants and taverns with traditional music.

Take a strall along the picturesque streets of the Old Town of Chania and get lost only to discover medieval churches and venetian mansions, hidden bars and cafes or just feel the vibes of our beautiful town.

The finest unspoilt old Venetian town on Crete - a magical place to discover on foot and to become happily lost among cafes and tavernas and a vibrant local atmosphere

One of the best things to do in Chania is wander through the maze of narrow, pedestrian-only streets in the historic old town. An architectural style jumps out at you around every corner. Shops lining the streets and stairways sell souvenirs, and cute restaurants and cafés are tucked into shady patios. As you walk around, you'll come across four distinct areas, each with its own look and feel: Kastelli is hilly and quite old with very narrow, twisty walkways. If you come across a group of tourists, it's often too tight to pass. Topanas is just back from the old port and has narrow roadways. The Jewish District is easily identified by its wider streets. The Splantzia District has the greatest number of outdoor cafés and restaurants, mostly located around a huge plane tree in front of the Church of St. Nicolas.
