About Parasties

Traditional kafeneion in Rethymno's old town where locals gather for Greek coffee, raki, and conversation. The interior has barely changed in decades, with marble tables, wooden chairs, and old photographs on the walls. It operates from early morning until late at night.

Insider Tips

Order a traditional Greek coffee sketo (unsweetened) or metrio (medium sweet) and enjoy it slowly as the locals do.
