Presided over by a 16th-century Venetian fortress, Rethimnon old town is a warren of pastel-coloured Venetian mansions housing hip bars and eateries, antique stores and crafts shops, and a former mosque with a towering 19th-century minaret. The old Venetian harbour is lined with upmarket seafood tavernas, and guarded by a lighthouse. The palm-fringed sand beach lies east of town, overlooked by a string of big, modern hotels and souvenir shops.
