Snack Bar and Cafe Paralia — Restaurant in Municipality of Rethymnon

Paralia Cafe: A slice of Cretan heaven! 🤩

Forget everything you think you know about cafes—Paralia is on another level. Run by the incredibly welcoming George and his wife, this place isn't just a cafe; it's an experience. Think breathtaking sea views from its perfect promenade location, just a stroll from Rethymno's Old Town. 🌅

But the real magic? The food. Seriously, the food. Every dish is a taste of home-cooked Cretan goodness, bursting with fresh, authentic flavours. And the portions? Let's just say, you'll be leaving with a happy, full belly. 😋

From the complimentary Ouzo and water that greet you upon arrival to the delightful little dessert that ends your meal, every detail is infused with genuine Cretan warmth and hospitality. It's like being welcomed into their family! 🥰

Paralia is a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional food, breathtaking views, and the warmest of welcomes in Rethymno. It truly captures the heart and soul of Crete.

My favorite Gyro spot in Rethimno! This place has some of the best authentic Greek food I have had in Crete. The Gyros are to die for and the seasoning they use is traditional. The owner is extremely friendly and nice. He is genuinely happy to see people come and eat his spectacular food. The food is fresh, staff is amazing, and prices are fair! What more could you ask for. I was in town for a wedding and my family all needed something to eat. The owner and his wife made so many Gyros for my family and I to take away and eat. Highlight of our trip! Thank you so much.
