A colourful ouzeri-bar, just a few steps from Paleochora’s eastern waterfront and ferry dock, serving delicious snacks and light meals, well-priced beers, wines and cocktails. All drinks are accompanied by generous portions of traditional meze. Friendly service, good music and a lively Greek atmosphere.
-
As well as a proper restaurant, this all-purpose nightspot also has a traditional café and ouzo bar, serving meze in the courtyard of an attractively restored old building (see Anna Bei 1900, Ierapetra).
-
With tables on the east side of the harbour, Aroma is a popular rendezvous for young locals. Fine views of the harbour and a pleasant place for breakfast, morning coffee, an aperitif or after-dinner drinks.
-
With its pretty garden setting, this is one of the town’s finest. Mainly grilled and roasted meats, and Cretan favourites such as apatzia sausages and roasted goat.
-
This elegant courtyard restaurant is, arguably, the best in Rethymno. A pretty garden provides the setting for the traditional grilled and roasted meat dishes, served alongside traditional Cretan favourites such as apatzia (smoked sausages) and roast goat (see Avli, Rethymno).
-
Another typical winter snack served in mountain village ouzeries, often cooked in a wood-burning stove in the middle of the café.
-
Small red mullet appear on almost every tourist menu, pan-fried or grilled. Each fish provides only a few delicious mouthfuls – beware of bones!
-
A prettily decorated and newly opened café, opposite Rethymno’s Rimondi Fountain and close to some of the best shopping in town.
-
Dry, white varietal wine – great with seafood and cheese.
-
The big, breezy self-service café beside the Morosini Fountain offers cold drinks, snacks, pizza, pasta and cooked breakfasts.
-
