| In Rethymno, Kuhela was moored in the small town marina. Here, we were not only near to the old Venetian quarters, but the marina adjoined the town�s new main ferry wharf. This wharf now was the hub of activity for the town of Rethymno, and when you live on a boat and have no transportation, this is an added benefit. Every Thursday, Rethymno held its weekly market in the parking lot on the main wharf. As Crete�s favorable climate was ideal for growing fruits and vegetables, its Thursday market was bountiful and relatively inexpensive, making Rethymno a great place to provision. In the marina, we were entertained for a few nights by the stage production of �The Ship of Fools�, moored nearby. Uniquely, this boat itself acted as the stage set, and during the summer it traveled to different ports presenting its show. Also, from the wharf we had a great view of the town beach. |
