Een audiotour door Rethymno: van het oude Griekenland tot de moderne tijd
Beschrijving
Deze zelfgeleide audiotour begint op een steenworp afstand van de oude Venetiaanse haven en zijn indrukwekkende vuurtoren. Vanaf daar zullen we genieten van een langzame wandeling door kleine steegjes, gevuld met Venetiaanse huizen. We komen langs musea waar je een kijkje kunt nemen, als je wilt. (De vroege Minoïsche artefacten die in de buurt werden gevonden, zijn verbluffend.) We bezoeken ook het enorme Fortezza met zijn magische koepelvormige moskee en zijn uitstekende panoramische uitzichten over zowel de stad als de Egeïsche Zee. Onderweg hoor je over: Hoe de stad zijn naam kreeg De impact van de Ottomaanse Turken Het wrede verhaal achter de Four New Martyrs-kerk De architect en bouwer van de Venetiaanse Loggia De lay-out in de Grieks-orthodoxe kerk en haar religieuze tradities Waarom en hoe Byzantijnse iconen zo bijzonder zijn op Kreta Wat betekenen de herdenkingsposters die je overal op de elektriciteitspalen en muren ziet

Rethymno is a wonderful old but very quaint and inviting town. All streets are narrow but allow enough room for restaurants and stores inviting you in just by walking by. You won't need a car because the parking is very limited. I recommend taking a food tour to learn about their history, culture and sample delicious food, drink & honey.
The idea of self-guide audiotours is good, but the app need to be drastically improved, and in our case, the audioguide of Rethymno, Greece was voiced by a guy with a very thick dutch accent that made it difficult at times to understand what he was saying and had to consult the text for clarifying.
Hi there, We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience. Could you send more information on what you feel needs to be improved in the app? Feedback from users, like yourself, are important to us, and will help guide future improvements. As for the guide's accent, I understand that travellers from different countries may have trouble understanding narration by publishers with strong accents. I'm sorry that you weren't able to understand what was being said, though this sounds like it is a subjective opinion rather than one that would apply to all travellers. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you found the text accompanying the audio helpful. Regards, Brent
This is a fantastic way to visit a city! We could set the pace, make the stops we wanted and see the main sights and get key information. I wish there were more cities available as I would 100% do this again. The only note I have is to be sure the information is as updated as possible. For example, the icon shop is now out of business.
Fantastic old town with lovely narrow streets and picturesque alleyways. Lots of restaurants and variety. Audio tour ok for the price but audio not always in sync with location and took me to start point and then said start 600m away!
Great tour, and nice that you can take it at your own pace, stopping wherever takes your fancy and then continuing anytime
This was a great, relaxed tour which we managed to cover within the specified time. It was a good opportunity to get the best of the city without having to purchase a guided tour. The fact that you could pause and revisit places was a bonus as we did not feel rushed. We went back a second time and explored some of the places we had gone by during the tour.
