RETHYMNO

The regions significant natural wealth is epitomized first and foremost by Mount Psiloritis, which dominates the eastern part of the area, the most mountainous in Crete. The changing landscape will thrill lovers of the countryside and not only: fertile valleys give way to rugged rocky landscapes and precipitous coasts to sandy beaches. Lush ravines and small rivers that cut deep into the mountains, wildlife protection zones and around forty gorges complete the picture.
