Rethymnon's many gift shops have a beautiful selection of baskets, woodcarvings, pottery and woven goods. Cretan embroidery at Haroula Spridaki and various items carved from olive wood at the aptly named Olive Wood Corner make especially good souvenirs.Palaiopoleiou has genuine antiques and old textiles, while shoppers interested in modern ceramics and Greek pottery should try Omodamos. Many general stores and mini supermarkets are around to service self-caterers.
