The staka with eggs and potatoes was so good, exactly what I wanted that night. Pretty setting too, and the host knew what to suggest. Would come back with my friends for sure 👍

The Cretan salad alone was basically a meal. Huge plate, tons of feta, and it was like 9 euros. Couldn&#39;t finish it all. My friend got the lamb and she said the same thing about the portion. For that price in this area, you really can&#39;t complain. Busy place though, we had to wait a bit for a table.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a glass of their house white&mdash;went down easy with the grilled octopus. Salad had that sweet-sour dressing, really woke up the palate. Place was packed even off-season, which says something. They threw in a little dessert on the house, nice touch. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for that wine alone.

The wood-fired lamb was properly smoky, tender like it should be. Sat in the garden area, felt like a backyard in the mountains. Just wish they&#39;d had more staff on.

Been coming here for a while now. The food stays fresh every single time, that&#39;s why I keep coming back. Tried to change up my order once, language barrier made it a bit tricky, but they sorted it out fast. Dinner was solid, no complaints. Just wish they had a few more seats, gets busy around 8.

Best gyros we found around Agia Marina. Pork pita was packed with juicy meat and fresh tzatziki. Came back five times during our stay 😅

Popped in for a quick bite, honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much. Prices are fair for Malia, and the portions are solid. Staff were chatty, made it feel easygoing. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. Maybe a bit slow when it got busy, but I wasn&rsquo;t in a rush. Fine spot if you&rsquo;re nearby and hungry.

The smash burger was juicy and well-seasoned, exactly what I wanted. Gyros plate came with a generous portion too. Solid spot for a casual bite.

Stopped by for lunch after reading about it. The fava was really good, creamy and full of flavor. Stuffed vine leaves were solid too, not like the usual ones you get everywhere. Sitting outside under the trees was nice, staff knew what they were doing. A bit different from the standard taverna menu around Chania, which is refreshing.

The Sunday roast lamb was fork-tender, really good. Portions are generous too. Service was fine, not overbearing. Decent spot for a relaxed meal.

Decent spot for a quick bite. Gyros pita was &euro;10 and pretty solid. Menu&#39;s got everything from pizza to waffles, which is handy. Sunset view helps too.

Came for the sunset, ended up staying for the moussaka&mdash;best I had in Greece. They even threw in some raki and dessert at the end. Nice touch.

Stopped here after a walk by the harbour and honestly the grilled octopus was the move. Super tender, not chewy at all. The stuffed calamari was pretty great too. Service felt really genuine, like they actually wanted you to enjoy the food. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but that&rsquo;s probably a good sign. Would come back for that octopus again 🐙

Came here twice on our trip. Salmon was cooked right, braised beef was tender. Staff remembered us the second time, which was nice. Place fills up fast so book a table before you go. Solid spot for a proper meal without the fuss.

The tzatziki was super garlicky, almost too much for me. But the shrimp risotto and sea bass were spot on, arrived hot and fresh. Complimentary dessert at the end was a nice touch. 😋

Lamb was properly falling apart. Kleftiko came out a bit salty but the meat itself was tender enough that I didn&#39;t care. Nice outdoor seating. They threw in some dessert and raki at the end which was a solid touch. Would go back for the lamb alone.

The fresh orange juice was really good, and the price felt fair for what you get. That view though&mdash;could easily sit there for a while just staring out.

The staff here are really friendly, made us feel right at home. I had the kleftico and it was tender, fell right off the bone. Stuffed vine leaves were good too, nice and tangy. Only thing is the seating is a bit tight, but it&#39;s a cozy little place. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Great spot right on the beach, breakfast sandwich and cappuccino hit the spot. Service was solid.

Loved the lentil soup and stuffed veggies &mdash; proper Greek flavors, and the portions were generous for the price. Would come back just for that.

The lamb shank was solid and the portions are generous for the price. Wish they had a better wine list to go with it though, beer felt like the safer bet.

The saganaki with honey is seriously good&mdash;big portion and so tasty. I came with a couple of friends and we basically fought over the last bite 😅 The lamb kleftiko was tender too, sauce on the stifado was rich. Cozy spot with a nice view, staff checked on us a few times. Only thing is it got a bit loud later, but fine for a casual dinner.

We sat outside in the garden&mdash;pretty quiet for a Tuesday. Service was attentive without hovering. I had the grilled octopus, which was decent, maybe slightly overdone on the edges, but the lemon potatoes made up for it. Prices are fair for the area. Fine spot if you want a low-key meal.

Went for the gyros but ended up liking the pastitsio more. That one&rsquo;s got that baked top, real comforting. Moussaka was decent too, not dry at all. Prices are fair for what you get. Place was a bit busy but we managed. Good spot if you want something homemade without the fuss.

The seafood risotto was the star &mdash; creamy, loaded with shrimp and calamari. Moussaka was decent, though I&#39;d skip the milkshake next time, way too sweet for my taste. A glass of crisp white wine would&#39;ve paired better with the risotto honestly. Sat by the window, watched the sunset over the water. Nice spot for a relaxed evening.

The lamb was properly slow-cooked, fell apart with a fork. Portion size surprised me for the price&mdash;honestly thought they&#39;d give less. Place is a bit out of the way but that&#39;s fine, no tourist markup. Just wish they had more seating inside, we waited a few minutes. Still, for what you pay, you get a solid meal.

Lovely view right on the water. Burger and fries were solid, prices fair. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable.

The lamb kleftiko here is the real deal. Fell right off the bone, proper herbs, no messing around. I&rsquo;ve had worse at places charging double. Didn&rsquo;t need to talk to anyone, just ate and left. That&rsquo;s all I ask for. Maybe the portion could be a bit bigger, but the flavour made up for it.

The beachfront sunbeds with direct service were the highlight. Staff kept checking on us all day, didn&#39;t even have to ask for anything.

Stopped by for lunch and had the grilled octopus &mdash; pretty good, honestly. Fresh, not rubbery, decent portion. Place is a bit out of the way, but that kept it calm. Only issue was the card machine being down, so cash only. Fine with me, just something to know before you go.
