About the Tour – You’ll have a chance to:

• Learn about an area called after the horse shoes, in Greek ‘Petaladika‘. Look at the signs, and you see them as a tribute to the former owners.
• You probably will notice the yellow flag with the bird on the many churches. This flag is the symbol of the Greek Orthodox Church. It originally belonged to the Byzantine emperor.
• Listen to the story about the statue of Kostis Giampoudakis; A Cretan hero and leading figure in the self-sacrifice action in the monastery of Arkadi on the 8th of November in 1866.

• Stand in the Erofyli open-air theatre, home to the Renaissance Festival, which has been proudly supported by the municipality of Rethymnon for over twenty years.
