A place shaped by
sea, light and Crete
Paraplous is a colourful, all-day seaside setting where the natural beauty of Rethymno meets a modern Mediterranean table.
The kitchen has a clear Greek and Mediterranean identity. Cretan extra virgin olive oil is at the heart of the dishes, alongside local ingredients, fresh seafood, the day’s catch and selected meats. Traditional flavours are treated with imagination, but never lose their sense of place.
From a morning coffee and a healthy lunch to sunset dinner and cocktails at the bar, the atmosphere changes naturally through the day. Whitewashed interiors, woven textures, old coastal trees and the sound of the waves keep everything relaxed and unmistakably Cretan.
Hospitality is central to the experience. Our aim is simple: thoughtful service, generous flavours and moments guests will want to return to.
Open to the horizon
From the first coffee to the last cocktail
Morning
Coffee, a Cretan breakfast and the calm light of the sea.
Lunch
Seafood, salads and relaxed Mediterranean dishes made for sharing.

Golden-hour dining with fresh fish and the horizon as your backdrop.

Designed to feel effortless
A cosmopolitan summer atmosphere, softened by natural materials, coastal trees and Cretan warmth.
The restaurant opens fully toward the water. Dining spaces flow from the bright interior to the sea-facing terrace and intimate tables set among the trees.
By day it feels airy and informal. At sunset, warm light, candles and the bar bring a more elegant rhythm without losing the ease of being by the beach.
