Ali Vafi's Garden

Nestled within a historic 19th-century building in Rethymno’s Old Town - once the residence of Ottoman merchant Ali Vafi and earlier the Venetian cavalry -Ali Vafi’s Garden offers an enchanting escape amidst citrus-scented greenery. A lush courtyard brimming with orange, grapefruit, and lemon trees, soft lighting, and rustic wood decking sets the stage for both laid-back daytime coffees and lively evening cocktails. Here, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine pairs beautifully with signature cocktails and handcrafted creations. Each dish and drink reflects precision and creativity -boldly composed to be memorable. The place shines equally as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner destination.
