A person’s character is influenced by their childhood experiences.
My own childhood summers rolled seamlessly into a courtyard full of voices, laughter, games and life experiences; a large loving family of uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and visitors, sharing feelings, flavors, fragrances and dinners, under the watchful but so loving gaze of my grandmother Penelope.
We want to share with you these feelings of love, care, participation and creativity that define us, in another courtyard; Our Avli.
Katerina Xekalou
Creator of AVLI and CEO
Avli is a combination of all-suites hotel with restaurant, wine cellar and a shop with traditional products. Avli was created 25 years ago, in 1987, in an effort to optimize and upgrade the historic center of Rethymnon. Avli is housed in a cluster of beautiful Venetian buildings of the 16th century offering the visitor a real acquaintance with the life of Crete.
Avli features a unique blend of traditional Cretan architecture with modern luxury and aesthetic.
The same approach characterizes the kitchen. We prepare what we call Creative Cretan cuisine.
This is a truly authentic dining experience with the Cretan cuisine, using raw materials of indisputable quality combining a contemporary culinary concept and design with the renowned hospitality of the Cretans.
