Best Photo Spots in Rethymno 📸
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!
⚓ Venetian Harbor
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.
🏮 Egyptian Lighthouse
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.
🌸 Flowery Alleys
The Old Town is a maze of narrow streets. Look for walls covered in pink bougainvillea and Venetian doorways for that authentic Mediterranean vibe.
🦁 Rimondi Fountain
The three lion heads and Corinthian columns make for a regal architectural shot. It's the heart of the historic center.
🏰 Fortezza Panorama
Head up to the Venetian fortress for 360-degree views of the city rooftops and the endless blue of the Cretan Sea.
🏛️ Mikrasiaton Square
A massive open space where the Neratze Mosque's minaret stands tall. Perfect for wide-angle shots and urban photography.
🌴 Preveli Overlook
Just outside the city, the view from the top of the cliff overlooking the heart-shaped lagoon and the palm forest is legendary.
🏖️ Palm Tree Promenade
The long coastal road lined with towering palm trees gives off a "Miami-meets-Crete" vibe that looks great on any feed.
