Directions
From the harbour and port area, walk along the coastal road to the
fortress. Immediately before the fortress is a fairly steep but
drivable slope on the left-hand side. You can normally find parking
here but if not drive the car to the top of the slope where you
should also find parking spaces. Continue from the top of the slope
until the view of Rethymno is before you. Castelvecchio is on your
left on the corner. |
