mothers, long term unemployed youngsters). Since 2000, more than 600 mobility
projects have been implemented, hosting 5.000 participants (see past project list in

                                        main goal is to make each participant feel at

                                        our participants as well as to assure each one
                                        of them that they get their desired practice.

Why choose
Rethymno as an
Erasmus+ participant
The city of Rethymno is an ideal destination for Erasmus participants who wish
to explore the rich cultural heritage and the natural beauties of Crete. This well-
organized city offers a variety of picturesque routes to follow and numerous
historical monuments to visit. The old city of Rethymno still preserves its old urban
structure to a great extend, formed during the Venetian period onwards.

                                         The student life in Rethymno is fantastic! It’s
                                         a city where students are more than the local
                                         people and that means that it’s full of life!
                                         Students use to spend their time at cafeterias
                                         drinking their coffee. Almost every night their

                                         greek “meze” (like tapas), drink wine or the
                                         traditional “raki” and at the same time they
                                         listen to lovely bands playing live popular

                                         “Rethymno is a very beautiful city, next to the
                                         sea, big enough to offer you a lot of choices
                                         and small enough so you can reach every
