Rethymnon city - Private Tour to the Culture & History
Margarites Village
Margarites is a mountain village of the prefecture of Rethymno.

The monastery of Christ the Savior and Agios Gedeon on the east side of the village is definitely worth visiting.

Rethymno combines rarely united features: the old town's charm and history, with proximity to a long sandy beach. Explore one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Greece, and search for your fairy-tale romance in Rethymno. Venetian fortification works mingle harmonically with orthodox and Catholic churches, mosques, majestic mansions of Venetian architecture, arches and cobbled paths which create a magical atmosphere, reminiscence of the city’s turbulent –yet glorious– past.
