Swan
About
On Crete, Swan occupies premises at 28ης Οκτωβρίου 5 in Rethymno 741 33. The venue is known for a standard of service that has drawn a 4.9 out of 5 average from 406 reviews, one of the strongest showings on the island. First-time visitors should expect a well-run operation in the old town, with the kind of repeat custom that a score this high tends to reflect.
Rethymno sits on the north coast between Chania and Heraklion, and both are within easy driving distance, while Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi lie further east or south. Only some Greek islands have airports, and others are reached mainly from Athens or through a larger hub island, so Crete's own connections make it simpler to reach than most.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, and the tavernas around Rethymno follow that pattern closely. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the shoulder months are worth considering. The venue's own site, whiteswan.gr, carries further detail.
