20) Muriel presented to you: RETHYMNON September 15, 2021 episode 20 The third and most beautiful city in Crete, RETHYMNON is a superb Greek city of 32,694 inhabitants that combines the Turkish Orient and the Venetian Renaissance. It is located between Heraklion 80 km to the East, and Chania Chania to the West 60 km. The city now derives its income from tourism, which is increasingly important during the summer period. The city was built during antiquity with many Turkish and Venetian remains and developed a lot when they, then masters of the island, sought to establish a commercial center between HERAKLION and Chania. Stroll through the historic streets of Rethymnon. This city has many stories to tell with a history of 4500 years and an identity forged through the Minoan, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine years. The old quarter dates back to the Venetian era. The fortress of Rethymno can be visited in two hours to explore its bastions, ramparts and cellars. The entrance fee is 4 euros. With a circumference of 1300 meters, the bastion was built at the end of the 16th century. It is the second fortress in Europe for the walls so powerful that are 3.50 meters and there is the second wall in length of this power of all Europe, it is the wall of 86 meters. Built between 1574 and 1582 by the Venetians, THE VENETIAN FORTRESS is a symbol of the stormy past of Crete. The Venetian class hoped that this would protect Crete from an Ottoman invasion but all this work was for nothing. The Ottomans conquered LA FORTEZZA less than 100 years after its completion and then ruled Crete for more than two centuries. It was restored and served as a cathedral before the Turkish occupation. Today, the fort still houses THE MOSQUE OF SULTAN IBRAHIM HAN and hosts many cultural events. In the middle of the landing stage, you can see the old port and its 15th century lighthouse which was of great strategic importance during the Venetian period. It could only accommodate small ships. Therefore, it underwent many constructions. The wall surrounding it to the East has been restored. The original Egyptian lighthouse of 9 meters high was built during the Turkish period of the 17th century in the 1830s during the Ottoman era and ceded to the Egyptians. The structure has oriental elements and is reminiscent of a minaret. It is the second largest and most famous Egyptian lighthouse in Greece, the first being in Chania. Today, the small colorful pleasure and fishing boats bobbing on the water create a serene and pretty image. In summer, it is lively. In addition, there are daily excursions to be made. Its colorful alleys, its pretty hotels, its wide range of restaurants, are an ideal destination for vacationers. The taverns set up their tables outside and invite passers-by to taste Greek or foreign cuisine.
