Panormon harbour

  During the 1800s, Panormon was a busy commercial centre and a steamship line travelled from here to Rethimnon and Iraklion. The Venetians also used the harbour and there was a fort and a castle here. No evidence of these remains now. Panormon is a pleasant stop because of its good beach and reasonable level of tourist accommodation and tavernas overlooking the harbour.
