Hamalevri
In the region there are now hotels, villas and apartments, and it is in close proximity to some of the many beautiful beaches of northern Rethymno where guests can enjoy the waters, such as the beach of Stavromenos and the Sfakaki beach.
Among the sights of the village, the dominant one is the Tower Hamalevri, a building of exceptional architecture built by the Venetians in the 15th century and was probably used as a communication lighthouse because of its location and its exceptional views of the sea, the stream and the plain of the region, as well as the mountains of the hinterland of Rethymnon.
Later, the tower was used by the Turks as a base of operations against the rebels in the region.
