City day in Rethymnon

I´ve always liked this city, Rethymnon, it was actually my first holiday ever in Greece when the drachma was still excisting, dating back to 2001. It is nice to wonder around the old town, even now in off season. Rethymnon lives from tourism mainly, but not only with its 40.000 habitants. Much olive oil is made in this district, like most part of the Crete. It has also a big university with 8000 students and this makes I guess the town more lively in the bars and cafes during the winter.

From Bali to Rethymnon

Bali (!).....well not the one in Indonesia, just here on Crete ;). The name Bali has nothing to do with the Indonesian Island, someone told that it comes from word "vali" and vali means prince. The Cretan Bali is a tiny village and pretty much there is no live at all in off season. Its located between Rethymnon and Heraklion and surely looks a lot different in summer...
