  1. 2011 Mediterranean Cruise
  2. Med Cruise Greece

Mediterranean #13 - Rethymnon harbor

Our port of call for Crete was Rethymnon (or Rethymno) on the island's north coast. I lay roughly half-way between the two day trip destinations available to the tour members, namely Chania (Hania) and Knossos (with Heraklion or Iraklio). When we docked in the morning, the weather was poor, heavily overcast with scattered showers. That pattern persisted through the morning, for our visit to Knossos, but by afternoon Rethymnon lay in bright sunlight, while clouds still hung over the hills to the south.

The Fortezza castle, at the top of a low hill named "Palaiokastro" dominates the town. It was built in 1590 to protect the city from the pirates raids and the Turks.
