Today Rethymnon is a university town, and this is reflected in the craft shops, cafés, and inviting stylish bars that seem to be around every corner. Mid-July sees the towns wine festival, which is held in Rethymnon's city park just outside the city walls. Rethymnon Old Town, huddles beneath the Venetian Forteza, a magnificent stronghold built between 1573 and 1586. Its great walls would have been pierced with guns, but the Turkish army still captured it in 1646. The Turks left behind their legacy of the Mosque of Nerantzies and minaret in the old town which is now under renovation, and is used today as a cultural centre. There are several other mosques still there today.
Rethymnon beach is long and sandy and only a short distance from the Old and New towns . Rethymnon also hosts one of the largest Apokreas (Mardi Gras) carnival in Greece second to Patras. The town erupts in a flurry of costumes, reminiscent of Venice and there is much celebrating .
Rethymnon is a beautiful, romantic, dignified city, full of life but still holding an air of mystery, making it a popular destination for visitors from around the world.
