Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly left pretty full. Got the moussaka, it was warm and comforting, felt like something homemade. Place wasn&#39;t too busy around 2pm, so it was chill. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

We&#39;ve been going to Nostos for about three years now. Food&#39;s been pretty consistent, staff actually remembers us which is nice. They bring out complimentary ice cream at the end, that&#39;s a small touch I appreciate. Place gets a bit busy on weekends but the seating is comfortable enough. Not a fancy spot, just a solid neighborhood place we keep returning to.

Solid spot for Chinese in Crete. Orange chicken actually tasted like the stuff from NYC Chinatown. Portions are big, service was fast. Nothing fancy but it hits the spot.

Grilled sardines were spot on, super fresh. Sat right by the water, classic Greek spot. Wish they&#39;d bring the bread out a bit sooner though.

The grilled octopus was the only thing I cared about. Tender, smoky, just enough salt. Ate it slow, didn&#39;t want it to end. The rest of the plate was whatever, but that octopus did the job. Portion could be bigger for the price, but I&#39;d come back just for that one dish.

The spinach and cheese pie was pretty good&mdash;flaky crust, decent filling. Wifi worked fine, which was a nice bonus. Latte came out a bit sour, but honestly the pie made up for it. Place was quiet enough to sit for a while. Fine for a casual stop.

The mushroom orzo was a nice surprise &mdash; glad they label the vegan options clearly. Charming spot, though the local cats definitely steal the show 😄

Great spot to sit with a coffee and watch the Fortezza from above. Calm enough to get some work done too. Wish I&#39;d found it earlier in my trip.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Pizza was solid, came out hot from the wood-fired oven. Place has a chill vibe, fine for a fast bite. Service was polite but a bit slow &mdash; had to wait longer than I hoped. Still, decent spot if you&#39;re not in a huge rush.

The grilled octopus was spot on again &mdash; tender, smoky, just right. Been coming here for a while and it never disappoints.

Decent Greek food right by the water. Prices are fair and service was fine. Took a bit to get our plates, but the view made it easy to wait.

Lamb chops and pork belly were properly charred, juicy inside. No fancy stuff here, just solid grilling. Wish I could&#39;ve tried more but I was full.

The staff here are what make it worth coming back. Friendly, quick, and they even brought a free raki at the end. Food was solid and portions were big enough.

Been coming here for years, the portions never disappoint. House wine is decent too. Not fancy, but it&#39;s real Greek food without the tourist prices.

Stopped by after the beach for a quick snack and a beer. The owners were so chatty, made us feel right at home. I got the mixed fruit juice, super refreshing, and fries were solid. Nice little spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy. Maybe not a full meal place, but perfect for hanging out with friends for a bit. 😊

Been here three times now and the lamb kleftiko never disappoints. Still falls right off the bone. Portions are massive too, so skip the starter.

The sea view was the real star here. Sat by the window, watching the water while eating tzatziki &mdash; that dip was properly garlicky, just how I like it. Greek salad was fresh too. Mains were a bit hit or miss, mine came out lukewarm. Staff friendly enough about it. Would come back just for the view and starters, honestly.

Solid choice for traditional dishes. Food was tasty and prices fair. Got pretty loud when the crowd came in though&mdash;go early if you can.

The grilled sardines were really good, and the owner cooks everything herself&mdash;you can tell she cares. She even brought out a little dessert on the house, which was a nice touch.

The smash burger was juicy and the portion size is solid for what you pay. Cocktails were decent too, not watered down. Good spot if you&#39;re already at the beach and don&#39;t wanna overthink it.

Lamb chops were properly grilled, juicy inside. Bill came to about &euro;25 per person which felt fair for what you got. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t wait long.

Came with 8 people and let the owner pick for us. Honestly the portions were huge for what we paid. We ordered maybe 6 dishes and it fed everyone easily, we even had leftovers. The lamb was the standout, tender and not overpriced like some places in the area. Just wish the service was a bit faster, but for the amount of food you get, it&#39;s hard to complain.
