Trying to read Greek!



Built by the Venetians on the rocky hill a fortress dominates the landscape of Rethymno. It was built in 1573 on the ancient site of Rithimna. The fort consists of interesting buildings, some in ruins and some beautifully restored or being restored.

    Food and wine is very delicious! Not spicy at all. Moussaka and lots of feta and tomatoes. Breakfast is mostly savoury - cheese, spinach and feta in filo pastry, hard bread. I would kill for a bowl of muesli.
