Rethymno is located 80 km from Heraklion,
so it’s quite far, but it’s worth visiting!

Crete – Go Outside
If you want to “go outside”, I mean outside Crete, then visit Santorini.
You can have a day trip or even longer, if you have time.
I used to thought, Santorini is the most beautiful Greek island.
But I see how it’s getting more and more crowded,
plus my Greek friend convinced me that other islands are more beautiful,
so now I even think that Crete is much more interesting than Santorini.
Well, we’re changing all the time. 😀
Crete – Colors of Crete
I know, the sea is not visible here,
but I still call it “sunny colors of Crete”. 🙂

and even made in Crete. 😉

Of course, enjoy also water while being on Crete. 😉
