Prima Plora

Prima Plora spreads along the rocks west of Rethymno's old town, with sea-facing tables looking back toward the Fortezza. The kitchen crosses fresh fish and Cretan produce with sushi, ceviche, risotto and seafood pasta, supported by a sommelier-led wine list.

Our take

Sushi watches the Fortezza

Prima Plora spreads along the rocks west of Rethymno's old town, with sea-facing tables looking back toward the Fortezza. The kitchen crosses fresh fish and Cretan produce with sushi, ceviche, risotto and seafood pasta, supported by a sommelier-led wine list.

Reserve for sunset and ask whether the table carries a fixed return time. Recent criticism targets breaded dishes, dry fish and prawn linguine rather than raw preparations, so start with sushi or ceviche and let staff price the day's catch before ordering.

What visitors say

Prima Plora rates 4.6 from more than 2,150 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a Travelers' Choice award; seafood, sushi, wine service and the sea terrace lead praise, while some mains and timed seating draw complaints.
