Rethymno Cretan Kings B.C. (Greek: Ρέθυμνο Κρητικός Κινγκς K.A.E.), is a Greek professional basketball club that was founded on the island of Crete, in Rethymno, Greece, in 1986. The club is also commonly known as Rethymno B.C. (Ρέθυμνο K.A.E.).

The team was previously known as Rethymno Aegean B.C. (Ρέθυμνο Αιγαίο K.A.E.), or Athlitikos Gymnastikos Omilos Rethymno (Α.G.Ο.R.) (Αθλητικός Γυμναστικός Όμιλος Ρεθύμνο (Α.Γ.Ο.Ρ.). The team's parent athletic club was founded in 1965.

History

To date, Rethymno's greatest accomplishment occurred during the 2006–07 season, when the team qualified to play in the final of the Greek Cup, after defeating the top-tier level Greek League teams PAOK, Panionios, Sporting, and Kolossos Rodou. Rethymno was finally defeated by the EuroLeague powerhouse Panathinaikos, by a score of 87-48, in the championship game of the 2007 Greek Cup, but nevertheless, Rethymno secured a new strong place in the Greek pro leagues after the team's showing.

After previously being named Rethymno Aegean, the club changed its name to Rethymno Cretan Kings in 2015.

Arena

Rethymno plays its home games at the Melina Merkouri Indoor Hall. The arena originally had a capacity of 1,100, but it was expanded to 1,600, when the club first joined the top-tier level Greek Basket League. There are currently plans to further expand the arena again, in the near future.^[1]
