Getting there

Walking

From the center of Rethymno, start at the Venetian Harbor. Head east along the waterfront promenade (Akti Koundourou) towards the Old Town. Continue straight until you reach the entrance to the Old Town at the 'Porta Guora'. Once inside, walk through the narrow streets until you reach the main square, 'Plateia Tessaron Martiron'. From here, follow the signs towards the Fortezza (the Venetian fortress). After visiting the Fortezza, exit the fortress and head uphill towards the 'Kalefatis' street, which will lead you towards the hills. Follow 'Kalefatis' until you reach a fork; take the left path that leads upwards. Keep walking until you reach the point where the road becomes less paved and turns into a hiking trail. Continue on this trail, which will lead you to the Panoramic View Point. The view will be spectacular, providing a stunning vista of Rethymno and the sea.

Public Transport and Walking

From the main bus station in Rethymno, take the bus towards Chania and request the driver to drop you at the nearest stop to the Panoramic View Point (ask for 'Sofia'). Once you get off the bus, you will need to walk uphill. Head towards the main road (Unnamed Road) and continue walking for about 15 minutes until you reach the Panoramic View Point. Be sure to check the bus schedule for return trips.
