Hello RethymnoHello RethymnoThe Rethymno district's villages each have a distinct draw worth a half or full day. Margarites is the pottery village, with working ceramic studios in stone Venetian and Byzantine lanes; Spili charms with its row of Venetian lion fountains under huge plane trees at the foot of Mount Kedros. Anogeia, high on Psiloritis, is a stronghold of Cretan music, weaving and lyra tradition, while Argyroupoli (ancient Lappa) offers shaded spring water taverns beside small waterfalls. The Amari valley villages give the quietest, most authentic mountain Crete, with Byzantine churches and views of Mount Ida.
