Episkopi

Rethymno Province


This charming village, 9km southeast of Melidoni, served as a bishopric under Venetian rule and is a maze of lanes lined with well-preserved stone mansions. Stop to admire the faded frescoes gracing the crumbling ruins of the 15th-century Church of Episkopi. Also look for the Venetian water fountain next to the bridge at the end of the town.
