Her original idea, however, dates back when Ioannidou operated a social pharmacy as a volunteer which gave medication to those in financial need.

Mosaics were made out of unused and ready-to-be-trashed pills

City of Rethymno

You are invited to travel to areas, which are perhaps still unknown to the majority, and which are sometimes remote, but always magical and magnificent throughout the seasons. We recommend our visitors to see our picturesque villages through the eyes of the soul, try the Cretan cuisine, our wine and “tsikoudia”, participate in our revelries and festivities, but most importantly get to know our soul, our hospitality, the safe, untouched interior of the region, the other Rethymno.
