 Mayor's Greetings

The city changes … so do its citizens.

Colours everywhere! Young people of all ages, with the freshness of their age or her wisdom are storming through the streets. Music, laughter, dances, teases, everything together. The heart of Crete strikes in Rethymno. Old and young, good friends and strangers share feelings, moments, experiences.

The Carnival in Rethymno is not simply a feast. It is a beautiful piece of our life. It is yesterday and today singing together in the back streets of the Old Town. It is the treasure that we search in the all corners of Rethymno and in the hours we spend making floats and costumes, it is what links us together and gives us that common aim: May the Carnival in Rethymnon be always the protagonist of our own everyday routine and the cheerful escape for you visitors.

Welcome in this festive fairy tale with the impressive beginning and the happy end!

  Georgis C. Marinakis
MAYOR OF RETHYMNON
