Panormo is a small, romantic, picturesque, seafront village developed in a lovely small gulf 22 km east from Rethymnon. It still has the air of a fishing, quiet village with a few traditional tavernas and bars and a couple of good sandy beaches in the village.
We strongly recommend Panormo for couples or families looking for peacefulness far from the overdeveloped villages of north Crete.
The ancient town of Panormo flourished here from 1st to the 9th century A.D. when it was destroyed by the Saracens. A post office, ATM machine and a cultural centre are provided in the village of Panormo. A tourist mini-train leaves from the main street for the nearby Melidoni Cave and the pottery village of Margarites.
