Get around

Bus - as with most places in Greece, tickets must be purchased at a shop before boarding public buses.

Taxi/Cab - cabs can be hailed on the streets, but expect to share the cab with strangers who might also hail the cab on the way to where you're going.

Historic Buildings. Rethimno has many historic buildings remaining from the Venetian occupation of Crete (17th century?) including the Fortessa and the lighthouse.
Beaches. The good sandy beach begins in the town and extends several miles to the east, backed by hotel developments. In the west, after a little industrial area, a rocky unspoilt coastline takes you towards another good beach 5 miles to the west of Rethimno, towards Georgiopoli.
Parks. There is a small park in the centre with a very small zoo containing some Cretan mountain goats.
