Skaleta at Rethymno: Fortetza Castle
The Rethymnon area, where Rethymno Mare hotel is located, has many attractions to visit during your stay in Rethymno.
Around the hotel there are many villages worth to visit for their cultural value and their historical monasteries, such as Arkadi Monastery and Arsani Monastery. The Skaleta, suburb of Rethymno, where is the hotel, is a nice and quiet area with a long beach and crystal clear waters.
Rethymno preserves even today its intense medieval- renaissance color. Visit its monuments and tour around its narrow streets in order to taste its special character. The whole historic centre of the city is found below the walls of the Venetian Caste Fortetza. Fortetza, a castle of 1.307 meters, is the most impressive building in Rethymno, which was constructed in order to protect it from attacks. Do not omit to visit the interesting museums of the town, such as the Archaeological and the Historical Folklore Museum.
The town of Rethymno, 11km far from the hotel, is a beautiful town, that, apart from the new town, has also the old town with its narrow, romantic roads and the Venetian Castle Fortetza. You can visit also the museums and the old harbor that will lead you to another path of senses, another time into the old years.
