Rethymno's annual outdoor decoration and for the first time, the Christmas Playground at the center of Rethymno's historic center is one of the must-see attractions for you and your family.
Rethymno will feature a grand selection of local winter events in the months ahead.
A wide range of interests includes Christmas decoration all over the historic center and in the Mikrasiaton square a Christmas Toy city, Rethymno's Christmas Playground.
Wooden houses, colorful lamps, impressive toys, exhibitions, Christmas activities and melodies will flood the square. In the workshop, Santa's engines will work feverishly to create the gifts of children all over the world. Our little friends will be able to visit the house with the elves delicacies to make their own sweets, the Santa Claus workshop to help produce the Christmas toys and the fairytale house to hear the most spiteful narrations of the elves. In the pallet house, the magic brushes will paint the children's faces while in the Santa's post each child will be able to write and post his own letter with his own unique Christmas secret.
"In Rethymno's Christmas Playground smiles and greetings, strong laughs and endless toys, wonderful treats and warm hugs and maybe even a few, small and innocent Christmas teasing will be all around!"
