The Greek meze for two hit the spot. Moussaka and soutzoukakia were both solid, though the pastitsio could&#39;ve used more salt. Garden seating was a bonus.

The ribeye was decent, though a bit mild in flavour. The t-bone flamb&eacute; was fun to watch and the staff were friendly. Pretty good spot for a steak fix.

The tzatziki and grilled lamb were spot on. Real traditional Greek cooking, no shortcuts. Place was busy but we got our food quick enough.

The terrace seating is what got me. You can see the water from most tables, and the breeze made it feel less crowded than it actually was. We had the panna cotta after a pretty decent meal. It was smooth, not too sweet. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Just a nice spot to sit and take your time.

The pork with feta was tender and seasoned just right. Sitting there watching the bay made it even better. Staff were friendly too.

The spaghetti de keema really hit the spot&mdash;rich and hearty, exactly what I needed after a long drive. View of the Mediterranean from the terrace made it even better. Had a glass of their house red with it, which worked fine, nothing fancy but paired well. Service was a bit slow, but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry.

The grilled fish was decent and the portions generous. Nice sea view while we ate. Staff friendly enough. Just a bit pricey for what you get, but fine for a seaside spot.

Loved the vibe here &mdash; good music and the crowd gets lively later at night. Cocktails were solid, and sitting outside was nice. Just know it gets packed, so grab a spot early.

Stopped by this old-school gyros place in Chania. Been there forever, you can tell. Got the classic pork gyros&mdash;no fries, just meat, tzatziki, tomato, onion. Simple stuff. Small spot, mostly takeaway. Portion was decent for the price. Solid if you want something quick without the tourist fuss.

Nice spot by the port for a drink, cozy enough. Didn&#39;t eat so can&#39;t judge the food, but service was fine when we were there. Seems hit or miss though.

Decent spot for a quick bite. Food was tasty and the local beer hit the spot. Garden seating kept it nice and quiet. Prices felt fair for what you get.
