"If you’ve heard of Rethymno, it may be because the town is home to one of the best-preserved castles in Crete, Fortezza Castle. Old Town (where you’ll find the 17th-century structure) is only 2.5 miles from Nautilux Rethymno — so you can experience the Venetian Renaissance and Ottoman architecture and the relaxing resort atmosphere. When you’re on the property, expect to lounge by the pool, swim in the Sea of Crete, and dance the night away at the beach club. Activities like boat rentals, city tours, and helicopter sightseeing can be arranged for additional costs." - Travel + Leisure Editors
