Rethymno's old town is built for couples, with candlelit stone courtyards, Venetian doorways and Ottoman arches that come alive after dark. Time sunset for the Fortezza walls or the 16th century Venetian harbour and its lighthouse, then dine in a quiet courtyard taverna in the lanes behind. For a slower romantic day, drive south to Spili with its Venetian lion fountains or to the shaded waterfalls of Argyroupoli, both easy half-day trips from the city.
