About
Crete visitors find Taverna Platia, a local business at Μακεδονίας 1, Rethymno 741 31, Grecia, placing it in one of the island's western coastal towns. The venue sits within Rethymno, a base that also puts Heraklion, Chania and Agios Nikolaos within reach of a wider Crete itinerary. Taverna Platia is known for its table service in Rethymno, and it has drawn 1,206 reviews with a 4.5 out of 5 average. Its Facebook page at facebook.com/pages/Taverna-platia/358183800958131 carries two photos of the place. Rethymno itself sits between the larger hubs of Chania and Heraklion, so the taverna works as a stop for travellers moving along the north coast. Families, couples and solo visitors all fit the easygoing taverna format, whether for a relaxed meal or a break from sightseeing. First-time visitors can expect a Greek island kitchen built on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and local cheeses, and grilled meats. The island's Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers and mild winters, with June to September the peak season. Ferries and flights from Athens and major hubs connect the Greek islands, making Crete reachable for onward travel. Greek is the main language spoken, so a few basic phrases help in Rethymno. Matala and Elafonisi sit further afield for those extending their stay beyond the town.
