Rainy afternoons are perfect for indulging in the delicious Cretan cuisine. Head to a traditional taverna and treat yourself to a warm bowl of dakos, a traditional Cretan salad with barley rusk, tomatoes, and feta cheese. You can also try other local specialties like moussaka, souvlaki, or fresh seafood. Pair your meal with a glass of local wine or raki, a traditional Cretan spirit. Enjoying a leisurely meal while listening to the rain outside is a cozy and satisfying way to spend a rainy afternoon in Heraklion.
