Sleep inside Rethymno’s best-known courtyard restaurant
Avli is woven through several historic houses in Rethymno’s old town, with flamboyant suites above lanes that lead to its flower-filled restaurant courtyard. The result is less a conventional hotel than a small world of rooms, food, wine and local products.
Guests should embrace stairs, old-building quirks and the evening energy of the centre. In return, the Fortezza, harbour and best streets are outside the door, and dinner requires no journey home. Avli is especially rewarding for food-led city stays and couples who prefer character to uniformity.
