Staff were on it the whole time &mdash; quick, friendly, always checking in. Even dropped a lemon slice in my beer without asking. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Stopped here on the way to Sisi and ended up lingering. The pork gyro was properly seasoned and tender. Fresh juices were a nice bonus too.

Kids had a blast in the play area and the pool was spotless. Grabbed a cold beer while they splashed around&mdash;pretty solid spot for families. Just wish the drinks were a bit cheaper.

The free raki and fruit at the end was a nice touch. Made the whole meal feel a bit more welcoming. Pretty good spot overall.

Stopped here after a long drive up the mountain. The view over the bay is the real draw. Lamb in the oven was solid, traditional stuff. Service was friendly and quick. Worth the trip if you&#39;re already in the area.

Came back here again last week with some friends. Still got that fresh seafood taste I remember from before. We sat outside, breeze was nice, nothing fancy. Waitress remembered us from last time, that was a plus. Only thing, it got a bit busy around 8 so service slowed down a little. But honestly, the grilled octopus was spot on again. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Stopped by on a whim&mdash;best souvlaki I had on the island. Pita was soft and warm, portions solid for the price. No complaints.

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.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and grabbed a sandwich. Bread was soft, veggies tasted really fresh. Nice to sit and look at the bay while eating. It&#39;s a little expensive for a simple sandwich, but the view kind of makes up for it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

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.

We&#39;ve been coming here for years, and the pepper steak never disappoints. Staff still remembers us every single time. That view over the bay doesn&#39;t hurt either.

The mixed grill fish was really good&mdash;fresh and nicely charred. Owner&rsquo;s daughter kept checking on us, super sweet. Felt like eating at someone&rsquo;s home, honestly.

Came for breakfast, grabbed a smoothie and the avocado toast. Service was quick, no complaints there. Sunbeds are free if you order something, which is a nice touch. Smoothie was fresh, toast was decent. Nothing mind-blowing but solid for a morning bite by the beach.

Nice spot for an evening drink. Aperol Spritz was done right, not too sweet. Gets crowded but that&#39;s part of the vibe.

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.

Great spot for hanging out with friends. We grabbed drinks and food without breaking the bank, honestly the price is why we kept coming back 😄

Stopped by for loukoumades after walking around the old town. The honey and walnuts on top were just right, not too sticky sweet. Dough was light, still warm when they brought it out. Place is small, more of a grab-and-go spot. Fine if you&#39;re craving something like that in Rethymno.

Came for the grilled octopus and honestly it was the best part of the meal. Tender, smoky, not rubbery at all. The fried calamari was decent too but the octopus really stood out. Place sits right on the marina so the view is nice while you eat. They even brought out raki and a little dessert on the house at the end. Thought that was a sweet touch.

Decent Greek spot. Chicken souvlaki was juicy and the dips with warm bread hit the spot. Portions are generous. Bit busy but service moved fast.

Came here with a couple of friends for dinner and honestly the shrimp spaghetti was the star 🍤 Big portion, super tasty. We also got the fried baby squid which was solid. Staff left us alone for the most part, which I actually liked. Place got a bit busy later but still chill enough to hang out and talk. Would go back if I&rsquo;m craving seafood again.

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.
