Loved the free loungers after our seafood salad lunch 🍷 Perfect little beach break with the girls.

The cheese dip and oven-baked meat are still the highlights for me. Portions are big enough to share, so you can try a bit of everything. Been coming here for a while and it stays consistent.

Came for a quick bite and stayed longer than planned. Sunbeds are right on the sand, super comfy. Ordered a drink and it showed up fast, no waiting around. Staff left me alone until I needed them. Perfect for a lazy afternoon. Only thing, prices are a bit high for what you get. Still, decent spot.

Stopped in twice while we were there. Goat with artichokes was solid, big portions too. They even brought out raki and dessert on the house &mdash; went well with the meal.

Been coming here for a while now, always grab a takeaway pizza when I&#39;m nearby. They&#39;re fresh, cooked right, and the size is decent for the price. Staff are friendly too, always up for a quick chat. Not the fanciest place in town, but it&#39;s consistent, and that&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The grilled octopus was the standout. Tender, smoky, just the right amount of char. Kids got free ice cream after, which was a nice touch. Prosecco at &euro;20 is fair for the area. Everything else was fresh but the octopus is what I&#39;d come back for.

Stopped by for a Cretan breakfast&mdash;so filling. Peaceful spot, watching the boats from the table. Exactly what I needed.

Came here four days in a row, oops 😅 The family that runs it is super friendly and the beach never felt packed. You just order drinks and snacks straight to your sunbed, so we basically didn&#39;t move all day. Honestly exactly what we needed for a lazy beach day.

The seafood was fresh, no complaints there. But the real win was the vibe&mdash;warm and easy, like they actually want you there.

The raisin stick pastry was really good&mdash;sweet, fresh, and worth the price. They also sell local olive oil, nice if you want to grab something small.

Small spot, big flavors. Calamari and gyros were solid, tasted homemade. Owner was friendly, made it feel welcoming. Prices fair for what you get.

Stopped in for lunch after the ferry. Got the grilled octopus and Greek salad. Fish was fresh, no complaints there. View over to Spinalonga is the real draw. Service was fine, nothing slow about it. Prices fair for what you get. If you&#39;re on this side of the island, it does the job.

The garden seating was so peaceful, could barely hear the street. Feta with honey really stood out.

The Cretan salad was good but honestly the portion felt small for &euro;12. Tasty though, and the courtyard is nice. Just wish there was a bit more on the plate.

Right on the sand, sunset view was gorgeous. 🦞 Seafood was fresh, though service felt a bit rushed.

Stopped by for a late lunch and the owner totally made the place. Super friendly, cracking jokes, clearly loves what he does. He even gave us a little bag of herbs from his garden on the way out. Food was solid, nothing crazy, but that personal touch stuck with me. Would go back just for that.

Stopped here for a drink while watching the boats come in. The spot by the port is perfect for people-watching, honestly could sit there for hours. Prices for drinks are a bit steep though. Still, the view kinda makes up for it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

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

Came here twice while we were in the area. Grilled meats were done right, fries nice and crispy. They even brought out some raki and fruit at the end, which was a nice touch. Service was friendly the whole time. Only thing is it can get a bit busy, but we didn&#39;t mind.

The lamb casserole was spot on again&mdash;tender, rich, just like last time. They even threw in a little dessert at the end, which I didn&rsquo;t expect. Still my go-to spot around here.

Been coming here for a while now. Still like the beer selection, staff always let you try before you pick. Sitting outside in the square is a nice bonus too.

The garden gets me every time&mdash;evenings with the lights and music are just lovely. Cocktails and desserts were on point again. Still my go-to spot in the old town.

We stopped by for lunch and the owner brought out a small plate of extra pita with cheese while we waited. That was a nice touch. The moussaka was solid, layers were soft and the meat was seasoned well. Grilled octopus was tender, not rubbery. Simple place, very clean. I&#39;d go back for the octopus alone.

Came for the gyros, stayed for the fireplace. Place is small and cozy, staff actually seemed happy we were there. Greek salad was fresh, big portion too. Gyros were solid, nothing crazy but hit the spot. Maybe a bit slow on the refill but whatever. Would sit by the fire again.

The freddo cappuccino was solid, and I liked that they use paper straws&mdash;small thing but it matters. Prices are fair for what you get. Good enough for a quick coffee stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Nice little spot off the main tourist drag. Had the granola yogurt bowl for breakfast&mdash;solid choice. Coffee was the best I found in Crete, no argument there.
