Workation in Rethymno: the essentials
A Venetian harbour, the huge Fortezza on its headland and a tangle of Ottoman-era lanes form the core of Rethymno, a city of more than 35,000 on Crete's north coast. A sandy town beach starts right beside the old harbour, and the University of Crete keeps students around after the summer visitors have left. Chania International Airport is about 35 km away in a straight line and further by road. Arkadi Monastery and the mountain village of Anogeia are inland, Plakias and Preveli across the island on the south coast. East of town the beach is lined with package hotels, and the old town can be loud at night.
