  • The Best Cafes and Bars

    You are more likely to find a wide selection of Cafes and Bars outside Prines village, specifically in Rethymnon, just 8 Km away. So here are the best 10 bars and cafes in the area. It may be a good idea to ask for a table and book by phone before going there, especially during the high season. Just call them and ask if it is necessary to make a reservation for the preferred day and time.

Cul De Sac

Situated by the Rimondi Fountain at the center of Rethymnon, this cafe is ideal to sit and watch the many tourists go by! Highly recommend the breakfast menu, very good food and generous portions. Address: Titou Petychaki Square 5, 7, 9, Rethymnon, Crete 741 00, Greece Telephone: +30 694 634 1161

Galero

Situated next to the Rmondi fountain, this historic cafe offers a great selection fo drinks and snacks to get you refreshed before you continue along your way. An iced frappe or espresso are great options here. Reasonable prices considering the location. Perhaps not a lunch meal destination but definitely great for a drink or two. Address: 2 Moschoviti, Rimondi Fountain, Rethymnon, Crete 741 00, Greece Telephone: +30 694 646 8103

Barrio

Very nice location, central but not very busy so you can relax and have a nice coffee break. Snacks are simple but tasty and the prices (if you choose the combo deals) are very reasonable. Nice alternative choice for a coffee if you want to avoid the typical coffee places at Rethymnon. Address: Dimitrakaki 3, Rethymnon, Crete 741 00, Greece Telephone: +30 2831 051600

Bankery

Greta place with great atmosphere, a must visit. Can become very busy during the day, as everyone wants to be in the place because of the great food and atmosphere it offers. Address: Dimitrakaki 2, Square 4 Martires Rethymnon, Crete 74100, Greece Telephone: +30 2831 026004

Nuvel

The coffee here is delicious. It’s a beautiful place to sit and relax in the afternoon. Perfect view of the harbor. Have lunch at one of the many restaurants located alongside the board walk. Address: Nearchou 47, Venetian Harbour, Rethymnon, Crete 74100, Greece Telephone: +30 2831 052478

Haris Creperie
