Official website of the Municipality: www.rethymno.gr HOW TO GET HERE The points of entry in Crete are the air- ports of Heraklion, Chania and Sitia, as well as the three main ports of the island at Heraklion, Chania and Rethymno. The two airports, in Chania and in Her- aklion, are international and service reg- ular domestic routes as well as routes to European countries. The one in Sitia is domestic and services flights from and to selected destinations within Greece. During summer there are many char- tered flights, while for Crete there are also several low budget companies. When you arrive at the ports or airports of these towns, you can rent a car, use the public bus services that get to Rethymno or even take a taxi.

Guide dogs for blind people and assistance dogs for disabled persons

According to Greek law (laws 3868/2010, 4235/2014 and 4238/2014), guide dogs of blind people and assistance dogs of disabled people are allowed access everywhere. However, these dogs must be certified as such. This Guide reports on businesses that, unaware of these laws, responded that they do not accept guide or assistance dogs, in order for potential visitors to be fully informed about the attitude they might encounter at these sites. 32 ACCOMMODATION ted.
