 Mayor's Greetings

A lot has been said about the Carnival of Rethymnon but alot has also been done........ However, the best is still to come! The Carnival of Rethymnon and the whole of Crete is a never-ending melting pot of ideas, it is a fairytale with an introduction, a main theme but with no ending. It is inspired by 10.000 carnival-loving people whose main motto is to live life to its fullest and to not let "time go by" aimlessly! However, time does go by as do the seasons, days and moments. For that reason alone the carnival period is a time to put all of our worries behind us, it is a time to be creative, to have fun, to make unique costumes, to construct spectacular floats, to unite, to innovate and to experience the unforgettable...... And because everything in life is a matter of experience, we invite you all to come and live unforgettable moments together with us as there are really no more words to describe the spectacular Carnival of Rethymnon!
Welcome to the Carnival of Rethymnon
