This was the first place we ended up on our first day so our first taste of Cretan food and it did not disappoint. We shared some starters and a salad and it was perfect for us. Food also came with bread and olives and some tomatoes did so we weren’t kept waiting. They also gave us some complimentary ice cream and raki for afters which was cute! Great service as well and beautiful scenery.
Lovely place on the water overlooking Chania Harbor - they give you complimentary dessert with raki after your meal. We didn’t have reservations but the waiter told us to hang around since it looked like a party of 4 was there just for drinks and he was correct! The vegetarian boreki was delicious. One couple got the combo plate for 2 people- if you’re two 20 year old men, then perhaps you could finish this; otherwise it’s enough for 3-4 people! They have 2 unisex bathrooms in the back of the restaurant inside on the right side.
We eat several nights here and we enjoyed each time. The food is great. they have many options but we tried souvlaki and gyros which were very tasty. We recomand it. the atmosphere was great and the personal was very careful of every detail.
Second evening we have eaten here. Has to have the best views across the harbour in the evening for sunsets!Food was excellent. Good portions with really friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere.
Amazing food like WOW!!! No kidding! The seafood is the best I tried in my life, soft and good quality, the portions are big and enough, they have big variety, it’s not only sea food. It’s in the port, with a beautiful sea view and the service was excellent in addition they brought a tasty dessert on the house, exquisite experience, thank you!!
Located in the harbor by the mosque, you have a beutiful view of the lighthouse and the open sea.We ordered octopus, grilled sardines, pastitsio and saganaki cheese. They were all amazing, beautifully cooked and plentiful.The staff is always at your discretion, very fast serving and kind.
All the food we order was amazing most delicious food I eat so far in area!! We ordered tuna salad, shrimps with some risotto I thing and mussels with green onions!! Service was great and atmosphere great
Long time we are looking for dishes with good price at the centre of the city.Here it was fast order and taste.I can recommend this restaurant - if you want to try „everything” they have mix of grill, sea food or Greek specialties.Friendly staff - they didn't persuade for us like others when we are walking around some places. Here you have also nice view.
