We discovered this lovely taverna while strolling through the small Venetian harbour of Rethymno — and ended up coming back for dinner 4 times during our 7 days on the island. I think that says it all! The authentic Cretan food, the fresh fish and the delicious pasta were wonderful, but what truly made us return was the heart and soul of this place. The warm atmosphere, the smiles, the hospitality — you simply feel welcome here. And most of all, we had the pleasure of meeting a truly wonderful person with a big heart. Thank you, Maria Stavroulaki, and thank you to the entire team for making our evenings in Rethymno so special! Wishing you all good health and happiness. We hope to come back one day and find you just as warm, welcoming and full of smiles as we remember you. A little piece of Crete that we will definitely take home with us.

Not recommend. Food was quite good and nice atmosphear but the owners are very craft, they slowly try to add things that you do not ask and at the end we paid a LOT and also a wine we didn’t order. Negative experience. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4 Order type: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €35–40

Thank you for your feedback. While we’re happy you liked the food and atmosphere, the billing error was an accidental mix-up and it is never our intention to overcharge our guests. We never want our guests to feel taken advantage of. Please contact us at our email or via our phone number so we can look into this immediately and make things right by refunding the wine and any extra items you didn't order.

The atmosphere at Taverna Knossos is truly special - from the beautiful views of the harbour to the feel you get dining at a family-run taverna! Despite it being busy the staff are very friendly and efficient and the owner is so lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our food though it is slightly pricier than other restaurants in the city. The knossos wine is also fantastic! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €25–30
