Rethymnon is one of the four prefectures (nomos) of Crete. It lies
between the prefecture of Iraklion and the prefecture of Chania, and
consists of four provinces (eparhies): Rethymnon, Milopotamos, Amari,
and Agios Vasilios. |

The province of Rethymnon is in the northwestern part of the
prefecture. Milopotamos is on the eastern side, bordering the
prefecture of Heraklion. Amari is in the uplands, bordering the
other three provinces, and Agios Vasilios is Rethymnon's province on
the Libyan Sea.
The main cities of the Nomos are Rethymnon, Agia Galini, Anogia,
Amari. These two provinces of Rethymnon and Milopotamos occupy all
the area on the north coast of the prefecture of Rethymnon. The
entire area is easily reached from the city of Rethymnon. The roads
in the provinces are good, usually paved, but narrow and winding. |

The excursions in
this area go east and west along the picturesque Old Road between
Rethymnon and Chania and Rethymnon and Heraklion. The construction
of the National Road isolated these small villages in the 70s but
this adds to their attraction. Hidden among these villages are
Minoan sanctuaries, cemeteries, villas, and palaces |

Rethymno
has the old section - the castle and a long sandy beach, cafes and
restaurants with local and visiting customers.
