In a similar vein is the beautiful city of Rethymno on the island of Crete. A former Venetian stronghold, the streets and alleys of the waterfront old town hide are full of character and colour. Bright fishing boats bob in the harbour.

These days you’ll also find boutique hotels, painted steps and charming cafes to tempt the tourists.
