The Venetian Fortezza sits high up in Rethymnon and can be seen from all over the town. Its height means once you are there you have the most amazing views of the town and surrounding area.
It also stands tall over the harbour and you can watch the many boats coming and going and admire the famous lighthouse.
One in the Fortezza you can wander around the baron landscape and really get a feel for what it would have been like all those years ago. There is little shade so i advise a trip in cooler weather as it can become unbearable in the midday heat.
In the centre of the Fortezza there is the smallest chapel i have ever seen and you can go in but only 2 at a time!!! It is amazing to see!
There is a good gift shop and plenty of information if you want to delve into the fantastic history that comes with the ruin.
Well worth a trip if you can, the views are spectacular, its cheap to get in and its a good cultural experience. A must see!
Welcome to Ciao, this place certainly does sounds interesting. Just a little more detail and personal opinion would improve this review greatly. Milky :)
