Embrace The Spectacle!
Stumble upon the Rimondi's jaw-dropping fountain hidden deep within the old town and watch as water emerges from the mouths of the three lions framed by the antique Corinthian column. This fountain, which dates from the 17th century, served as the city's water source during Venetian times. The fountain occupies a prime spot in the square, surrounded by eateries where you may enjoy a Cretan delicacy!
