Kafenion O Raftyis

4.9(245 reviews)

About

Kafenion O Raftyis in Crete sits on the Epar.Od. Rethimou-Agias Galinis in Spili 740 53, a mountain village on the road between Rethymno and the south coast. The café holds a 4.9/5 rating from 245 reviews.

Spili lies inland on the Rethymno regional unit, within reach of Rethymno town and the larger centres of Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia. The 4.9/5 rating from 245 reviews reflects how consistently visitors respond to it. Matala and Elafonisi are the coastal spots travellers often pair with a stop inland. Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.

Opening hours are not held for this café, so plan around the village's own rhythm rather than a fixed timetable. Spili's position on the Rethimou-Agias Galinis road makes it a natural pause for anyone driving between the north coast and the southern beaches.

First-time visitors to Crete should know that daily life slows in the afternoon. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so build slack into island-hopping plans. Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus across Crete.
