Rethymno


Rethymno is the third biggest city on the northern shores of the island of Crete.
The city was built in the Bronze Age by the Minoan civilization (c. 2700 to c. 1450 BC). Rethymno had its own coins, they minted money on which they used two dolphins in a circle. This depiction became the heraldic symbol of the city.

This bunch of postcards from Greece is from a friend who lives in Athens and whom I met during Erasmus. I stayed for the whole academic year, while she returned to Greece after the end of the fall semester. We reunited when she came back to Milan and brought me some postcards from her beautiful and ancient country :)
