Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Rethymno

Open since 1988 right on the old Venetian port with a view of the historic lighthouse, Cavo D'Oro is one of Rethymno's most established fish tavernas. Its harbourside terrace seats diners outdoors year-round, where leashed, calm dogs settle easily at your feet while you work through fresh Cretan seafood.

Tucked into the alleys of Rethymno's old town, Castelo is a romantic restaurant set around an uncovered terrace where vines climb the ancient brick and stone walls. The garden-style courtyard is calm and shaded, a comfortable spot to dine with a leashed dog away from the busier harbour crowds.

An all-day lounge cafe-bar right on the seafront promenade by the old Venetian harbour, LivingRoom serves coffee, brunch, cocktails and Mediterranean small plates from morning to late. Its open-air seaside seating is relaxed and breezy, an easy stop with a dog between beach walks and old-town wandering.
