Rethymnon Town & Market Tour

4.1/5
328 reviews

With plenty of free time to explore at your own pace, this morning trip to the romantic town of Rethymnon is as relaxing as they come. You'll journey along the west coast of Crete to Rethymnon where you'll discover history, architecture and charm by the bucket-load.

As soon as you arrive you'll be able to do exactly as you please. Wander around the weekly market stalls where the aroma of fresh produce will entice you to taste local flavours, and where you'll find plenty of souvenirs. The imposing fortress is also a must-see with its maze of narrow streets that wind their way around enchanting historic buildings.

Or you can simply take it easy and stroll along the picturesque Venetian harbour to take in the vistas over the bright blue sea, colourful fishing boats and beyond. There are plenty of traditional cafés and restaurants to sit down and soak up the town's laid-back Mediterranean air.

    Our hotel was not on the route followed by the coach but TUI arranged for a taxi to take/fetch us from a pick up point. We were so impressed. The guide was excellent, the route was scenic and the whole trip was a good half day away.

    The experience was poor. This has been raised as a complaint by TUI staff at our hotel.

    Die Stadt ist wirklich sehr schön und sollte man gesehen haben. Nur die Tour fand ich persönlich für 40 Euro pro Person sehr teuer, für dass das man im Bus etwas erzählt bekommt, die Stadt selbst erkundet und nur 3 std zeit hat und im Endeffekt nur hin und her gefahren wird. Da kann man sich selbst ein Auto mieten oder mit dem Taxi/Bus hinfahren dass günstiger wäre. Wie gesagt die Stadt Rethymnon ist einen Besuch wert!

    Zalige dag gehad. Echt genoten van de trip. De markt zijn echt kraampjes met groenten en fruit, kledij, lokale producten. Wel heel druk. De straten van de bus naar de markt zijn gezellig, veel winkeltjes, veel te ontdekken. Heel mooie stad Rethymnon.
