The 6 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Rethymnon, Crete

June 6, 2021 Hector Krause

Rethymnon is one of the most well-preserved Venetian old towns on the island of Crete. Its 16th-century buildings are stunning examples of ancient architecture, and the monolithic Fortezza reflects both European and Moorish influences. Explore the magical waterfalls, rock formations, and ‘"cave church" of Saint Anthony Gorge before taking a pleasant evening stroll along the colorful Venetian Harbor. Relax in a taverna over a plate of Cretan meze, like fresh feta drizzled with local olive oil.

Four Martyrs Church

Reviewed By Feathercut

Stumbled upon this church whilst visiting the street market. After visiting many churches in Italy, Spain and Czech would say this ranks with some of the most breathtaking! Wonderful murals, chandeliers and a environment where you can capture a serene moment away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. Truly beautiful!
