¡Hola, enamorados! As your guide for Maritimes Tours, I invite you on a luxurious spring escape to Rethymno, Crete, a jewel of Greece. Imagine yourselves strolling hand-in-hand through charming cobblestone streets, the scent of bougainvillea and jasmine filling the air, a symphony of sounds from the Aegean Sea as background music.

Rethymno in spring offers mild temperatures, averaging between 15-20°C (59-68°F), perfect for exploring. The sun shines brightly, but the sea breeze keeps things comfortable. Expect clear skies, and don't forget your sunglasses!

Our luxury experience begins with a stay at a boutique hotel overlooking the Venetian harbor. Picture yourselves sipping Greek coffee on your balcony, watching the fishing boats bob gently in the water. Accommodation costs, depending on your choice of hotel, range from €200-€500 per night.

Cretan cuisine is a culinary adventure. We’ll savor fresh seafood at a taverna by the harbor, indulging in dakos (a barley rusk topped with tomato, feta, and olive oil), kalitsounia (cheese pastries), and succulent grilled lamb. Expect to spend approximately €50-€100 per couple per meal.

During the day, explore the Venetian Fortezza, a majestic fortress with panoramic views. Afterwards, lose yourselves in the narrow streets of the old town, filled with artisan shops selling local pottery and olive oil. Entrance to the Fortezza is approximately €4 per person.

In the evenings, the atmosphere shifts. Live music spills out from tavernas, and the air is filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses. A traditional Cretan dance performance might cost around €20 per person. You'll encounter friendly locals, welcoming and eager to share their culture. Don’t be shy, learn a few basic Greek phrases – they'll appreciate the effort!

Rethymno's architecture is a blend of Venetian and Ottoman influences, creating a unique and captivating visual tapestry. The buildings are a charming mix of pastel colors, adorned with flowers cascading from balconies. You'll see cats lounging lazily in sun-drenched alleyways – a common sight in Greece. The sounds of church bells mingling with the waves create a beautiful ambience.

For transportation, you can rent a car for exploring the wider region (approximately €40-€60 per day) or utilize taxis and local buses for shorter distances. Remember to bargain respectfully with taxi drivers, especially for longer journeys.

Consider a day trip to nearby beaches, like Preveli, famous for its palm forest and crystal-clear waters (transportation costs vary depending on your choice – taxi or organized tour approximately €50-€100 for the day trip).

This luxurious spring getaway to Rethymno promises romance, relaxation, and cultural immersion. The estimated total cost for a 5-day/4-night trip for a couple, excluding flights, could range from €1500 to €3500, depending on your choices of accommodation and activities. Remember, this is a flexible estimate. But, prepare for an unforgettable experience that will fill your hearts and create memories to last a lifetime!

Kalí dia! (Have a good day!)
