The
tour of Rethymnon starts at the Porta Guora,
also called the Great
Gate,
at the entrance to Antistaseos
Street. The gate represents the only remaining
part of the ancient fortified wall of the town
of Rethymno. Continuing down Antistaseos St.,
which is also known as Mikri Agora (Small Market),
you will find the church of Aghios Frangiskos
on your left-hand-side, and next to the church
is the former Turkish Primary School. Special
attention should be paid to the outer doorframe,
which is in the Venetian style, whereas the
inner doorframe was added later on by the Turks
and
is ornamented with vines. Thus the initial
frame was a much narrower shape.
