Rethymno Gay Guide

Rethymnon is a regional unit on the island of Crete. The little urban town is embraced by vast mountains and crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean sea. It is an ideal destination for romantic souls looking for a peaceful escape from the everyday life with their partners. Although its not Mykonos, it lacks nothing in comparison except that the island Crete is far more concentrated on family and culture than wild nightlife.

You will fall in love with this picturesque destination. This coastal harbour is a combination of cultural influences and styles ranging from the Venetian to the Ottoman Empire. Majestic mansions inspired by intense medieval architecture create an idyllic atmosphere for you and your loved one to savour. Experience the lovely elements by taking a stroll on the enchanted streets of Rethymnon.

Although Rethymnon has a very discreet gay scene compared to Heraklion, it still is an excellent gay-friendly destination. Even though the family values are strong and gay locals don't express easily themselves, you can still get intimate with them if the signals are obvious in some private venue. Be considerate of your surroundings and do not the cross the boundaries.

The secluded beaches of Rethymnon offer the privacy you need if you are interested in some action. Do not expect to always find deserted beaches especially on the high season months. Ask the locals for an advice because the possibility of a beach being remote depends on the season.
