Restaurants in Rethymnon
Rethymnon may not have the choice of Iraklion or Chania in restaurants, but there is a choice for a range of budgets. For elegant dining and wining, try the above-described AVLI Lounge's restaurant; it boasts of its wine selection and will also provide private dinners, special celebration dinners, wine-tasting evenings, and even cooking lessons. Or try the Veneto, a 600-year-old Venetian mansion at 4 Epimenidou (a small street halfway between Nerantzes Mosque and the Folk Museum). Either offers truly special cuisine but may be more expensive than most travelers are budgeting for.
