Folegandros is a small Greek island in the southern part of the Cyclades region in the Aegean Sea near the islands of Milos and Sikinos. Folegandros ferry port is located in the small village of Karavostasi on the south east side of the Island and features connections with numerous neighbouring islands as well as to the Greek mainland. Though Folegandros is increasing its popularity with tourists, it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. With the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island, Folegandros is distinguished by the locals as the island of Peace.
Located between the popular regions of Heraklion and Chania is the beautiful historic town of Rethymno, the third largest town on the island of Crete in Greece. Rethymno is a place of outstanding natural wealth and a variation of landscapes, with flourishing valleys, harsh mountains and rocky shores following long sandy beaches. The east side of the region is mostly mountainous while the northern and southern coasts are dotted with fabulous beaches which are pretty popular in summer. The city of Rethymno is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Greece, with Venetian fortification works, orthodox and catholic churches, mosques, grand Venetian mansions, arches and cobbled streets all together, creating this wondrous traditional atmosphere. The Venetian port is probably one of the most popular spots of the Town. This small port was of great strategic importance during the Venetian period and has undergone numerous constructions since 1300. Nowadays, the port is lined up by cafes and delicious restaurants where you can enjoy the secrets of the Cretan cuisine.
