A Passion for Cretan Craft

Arches Rethymno is more than a market — it is a living tribute to Cretan tradition, tucked beneath the ancient arches of Rethymno's old town.

The owner is a craftsman and musician at heart, handmaking traditional Cretan instruments alongside curating the finest local products — from pure herbs and honey to sterling silver jewellery that stands the test of time.

Every visitor is welcomed with kindness. Every purchase carries a piece of Crete's soul home with them.
