Rethymno Town is known to house several mosques, none of which are currently in use. Muslims visiting the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno will also not be able to find prayer facilities at the attraction. They will therefore have to return to their hotel rooms at prayer times, or if it is possible to locate a secluded place, they could offer their prayers outdoors.
The Archaeological Museum of Rethymno is not known to house a café. There are however numerous restaurants and cafés in the surrounding area. Muslim tourist will not find any that are Halal certified, but they are sure to find plenty that serve vegetarian and seafood dishes that do not consist of any non-Halal ingredients.
