The Paraplous experience

A table beside the waves

A relaxed yet refined seaside restaurant where Crete, the Mediterranean and the day’s freshest catch meet.

Paraplous sits directly by the sea in Pigianos Kampos, just outside Rethymno. Whitewashed spaces, old coastal trees and an uninterrupted view of the horizon create a natural setting for long lunches, sunset dinners and evening cocktails.

Our kitchen builds on Cretan olive oil, local ingredients, fresh fish, seafood and carefully selected meats, balancing familiar flavours with a modern point of view.
