Ready to fill your camera roll? Rethymno is a playground for photographers. From historic landmarks to colorful alleys, here are the 8 most Instagrammable spots you can't miss!
The crown jewel of the city. Capture the colorful fishing boats bobbing in the water with the backdrop of the old port's historic buildings.
One of the most iconic landmarks. Walk to the end of the pier for a close-up or shoot it from across the harbor for a classic postcard view.
The Old Town is a maze of narrow streets. Look for walls covered in pink bougainvillea and Venetian doorways for that authentic Mediterranean vibe.
The three lion heads and Corinthian columns make for a regal architectural shot. It's the heart of the historic center.
Head up to the Venetian fortress for 360-degree views of the city rooftops and the endless blue of the Cretan Sea.
A massive open space where the Neratze Mosque's minaret stands tall. Perfect for wide-angle shots and urban photography.
Just outside the city, the view from the top of the cliff overlooking the heart-shaped lagoon and the palm forest is legendary.
The long coastal road lined with towering palm trees gives off a "Miami-meets-Crete" vibe that looks great on any feed.
