Overview of your Rethymno tour:

Rethymno is the city that stole my heart, and I can't wait to show you to all my favourite spots from here, as well as to find out which ones will be yours. Rethymno is an extremely cozy, picturesque, and easy to fall in love with, as it embodies everything that "authentic Crete" really means. On this tour, we'll be passing by the most impressive landmarks where the civilizations of the eastern and the western conquerors blend with the local art and culture. Let me teach you how to distinguish between the different eras in architecture and you will be amazed at the stubbornness of certain structures not to let go of their beauty throughout centuries of war. Kindly note that this tour is designed to leave you with enough time and energy to do your local shopping, drinking and lunching or dining, and I'll be happy to show where us locals eat and shop!
