Tourism - Travel tips
Rethymno is rich in monuments of exceptional beauty,
like temples, monasteries, Venetian villages and castles. The blue seas and the
picturesque land offer many opportunities for tours and sports like diving,
sailing, cycling etc. In Rethymno, you can find dozens of traditional coffee
shops with local specialties. The hotels and apartments to rent in Rethymno
offer high standard hospitality and services.
Tourism is one of the most important activities in the Mediterranean. However, while its development is based on the preservation and promotion of historical cities and sites, it sometimes results in their destruction, through uncontrollable construction. For this reason, the Municipality of Rethymno attempts to design and promote alternative development plans with respect to the local historical heritage and natural environment. This effort is based on a ‘CIVILIZATION-ENVIRONMENT-TOURISM'' model and promotes sustainable development plans in the city of Rethymno.
