Το Sefteri — Restaurant in Municipality of Rethymnon

We first discovered To Sefteri four years ago and couldn’t wait to return – it’s just as wonderful as we remembered. Back then I had the Soutzoukakia meatballs and dolmades, easily the best I’ve ever eaten.

The most delicious thing ever , we couldn’t recommend this highly enough and the Greek lady who runs it and does all the cooking...
