Mona Lisa
About
Found on Crete, Mona Lisa sits in Rethymno, a town on the island's northern coast. Kon/nou Paleologou, Rethymno 741 31, Greece is the spot to give a driver. Rethymno lies between Chania and Heraklion, so the town is reached easily from either of Crete's main arrival points.
Mona Lisa is a café, and it draws a steady local following. A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 303 reviews places it among the more reviewed cafés in Rethymno. The town itself is one of the island's established stops on the northern route, and Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie further east along the coast.
The venue keeps a page at https://m.facebook.com/MonaLisaRethymno/?locale2=el_GR. Rethymno's old town is compact and walkable, which makes the café straightforward to fit into a day in the town.
Crete's climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and milder, wetter winters. Greek is the everyday language on Crete, and its alphabet shapes the signage and menus visitors will encounter. During winter, rain and rough seas affect the island, and many hotels and tavernas close between November and March. Dishes such as horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus across Crete.
