Hiking

The Fortezza of Rethymno (Greek Φορτέτζα του Ρεθύμνου) is a fortress ruin within the urban area of Rethymno on the north coast of the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete. It is one of the landmarks of the capital of the Rethymno regional district. The name Fortezza comes from the time of the rule of the Republic of Venice over Crete and means 'fortress' in Italian, the Greek equivalent for fortress is Frourio (φρούριο) or Kastro (κάστρο).

Hiking

Admission per family 10 euros and four alone. But it's really worth it, because there's a lot to discover
