What beautiful photos. I too love Rethymno: its smaller size στριμώχνει (my favourite Greek verb - crams) all these different time periods into one dense place. The Venetian bell tower that became a minaret that now is part of the music conservatory. The narrow streets in the old town overhung with bougainvillea and washing. This must have been a difficult piece to write, but we are lucky to remember these kinds of memories.
Great piece - I was there nearly ten years ago; would love to return.
I feel it gets better every time I go!!!

Thank you, glad you liked it. It really is a special place in all kinds of ways now.
This island brings out those memories, both joyous and sad. That’s why we love it so. 💕
