About Avli

Doors open at half past eight in the morning and stay open until midnight, which makes this a Rethymno restaurant where a morning coffee can turn into twelve hours at the same table. The kitchen is Greek and keeps vegan and vegetarian plates on the same menu rather than in a corner of it, and the outdoor tables are the ones to ask for. Friday through Sunday are the busy nights. Prices sit in the mid band, which for table service and a 4.5 average across nearly 1,800 reviews is fair rather than cheap. The room reads smart elegant without being formal, and the crowd is mostly couples — Western European and British visitors alongside Cretans who treat it as their own. Open year-round, which on this island is less common than it sounds.
