Αμμουδιές · Ρέθυμνο
A pretty fishing village with a sandy beach and shallow water, east of Rethymno.
Panormos has two main beaches and several small coves. Limanaki next to the harbour is sandy and shallow, great for children, and the village has good tavernas and a relaxed feel.
The village has narrow lanes, old stone houses and tavernas by the water. It has kept its traditional character despite tourism. Nearby, the ruins of a 5th century basilica are worth a visit.
Mylopotamos lies between Rethymno and Heraklion, stretching from the north coast up the slopes of Psiloritis. The coast has the pretty resorts of Bali and Panormos, while inland you find the pottery village of Margarites, ancient Eleftherna, the Melidoni cave and the mountain villages of Anogia and Zoniana. The area is known for its strong traditions, Cretan lyra music and hearty mountain food, especially lamb and cheese. It's a great area for exploring away from the main resorts.
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. Περισσότερα για Ρέθυμνο
