The Municipal Garden of Rethymno is located in the heart of the city, is one of the main attractions, meeting point for locals and a piece of green that offers relaxation to locals.

The Municipal garden was constructed in 1925 by the mayor of the city. It was originally a Turkish cemetery of the city but after the departure of the Turks from the island, the council of city took the decision not built the place in respect of dead. However, it is important to remember that before this garden had previously used two other parts of the city to as municipal garden but they were builted.

The public garden is home of rare species of plants, a playground, a fountain and a small cafe where you can enjoy the shade of the trees. During summer here take part many cultural events.
