Ancient city above the Amari valley, at Thronos.
Ausgrabungsstätten · Amari
Village in the Amari valley on the site of ancient Sybrita.
Thronos sits on a ridge above the Amari valley, where the ancient city of Sybrita once stood. Its church of the Panagia has Byzantine wall paintings, and the views over the valley to Psiloritis are wide.
Rethymno sits between the mountains and two seas, and it is the easiest region to combine with the rest of the island. Its old town and Fortezza are among the best preserved on Crete, with Venetian doorways, Ottoman wooden balconies and a long sandy beach right next to the centre. More about Rethymno
