Rethymnon, Crete. The Venetian Castle. Ρέθυμνο, Κρήτη. Η Φορτέτζα.

The Venetians had to fortify their colonies, building castles at all points of interest to them. This is "Forteza" the old castle of the town of Rethymnon, still in good condition.
Οι Βενετοί έπρεπε να ωχυρώσουν όλες τις κτήσεις τους. Αυτό είναι ένα από τα οχυρά τους. Η "Φορτέτζα". Το κάστρο του Ρεθύμνου.

    Όμορφη Κρήτη… αλλά πότε θα πας και στον Έβρο να κάνεις μερικές φωτογραφίες εκεί; :-)
    Παρασκευή, θα πάω στη Κύπρο και ελπίζω να επιστρέψω με πολλές φωτογραφίες.

    Love the cool, cobbled path under the leafy trees. Your country looks so hot, and the trees make for a pleasante respite. Lovely.

    I like every one of these photos! What a lovely spot. The details you've captured (the real stone streets, the edge of the castle) are magnificent.

    What a wonderful place! I loved seeing it from your point of view. I noticed the outside floodlights - this place must be magnificent at night!
