The historic monastery of Arkadi near Rethymno of Crete was created around the 12th century by a monk.This renowned site of the island is related to the
Cretan Revolution of 1866 when Cretans revolted against the Turkish (Ottoman) occupation and refused to surrender, setting fire to a room full of
gunpowder, killing themselves and a big part of the Turkish soldiers, all in a heroic act of self-sacrifice. Nowadays, you can visit it and learn all about its
history and marvel at its Renaissance-inspired fortress-like architecture.
The city of Rethymnon is located along the northern coast of the island of Crete. It is a place that combines the charm of history, as it retains much of its
Venetian and Turkish past. The character of the old town, with its mix of architecture and history, tells of the period of Venetian rule when Rethymnon
was an important cultural center thanks to the presence of many intellectuals and artists of the time in the city. The large fortress built by the Italians to
defend the port is the most important monument in Rethymno. Tourists love walking in the narrow streets of the old city
