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.

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 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.

Stopped by for a quick bite around 2pm. Greek salad was fresh, bread still warm. Portions are solid for the price. They even threw in some free fruit and raki at the end. No complaints, just a decent casual spot. Would hit it again if I&#39;m in the area.

The lamb souvlaki was properly charred, juicy inside. Big Greek salad too, enough for four easily. Prices fair for what you get. Didn&#39;t pay much attention to the staff or the place, but the meat alone makes me want to come back. Maybe slightly oily at the bottom, but that&#39;s how it goes sometimes.

Paid &euro;17 for two big dishes and drinks. Portions were huge, took half of it home. The lamb was properly tender, tasted like real Cretan cooking. Not fancy, but the food did the talking. Would eat that again.

Stopped in for a break from Greek food and honestly it hit the spot. Hot and sour soup was proper, beef dish simple but good. Service was fast, no complaints. Place is nothing fancy but does the job when you need something different.

The moussaka here is really good. Tastes homemade, not like the frozen stuff you get in tourist spots. I&#39;ve been coming for years and it&#39;s stayed consistent. Place gets busy around 8, so come a bit earlier if you want a quiet table. Prices are fair for what you get.

Solid food. Real Greek flavors, nothing fancy but done right. Sat outside, watched the sun hit the water while eating. Staff left us alone mostly, which I liked. Price was fair for what you got. Good spot to wrap up a trip.

The seafood platter for two was honestly a feast. Six kinds of fish with that lemon-olive oil dip, plus a Greek salad and crispy potatoes on the side. We could barely finish it. The fish was fresh, the potatoes were properly crunchy. Just wish the dip had a bit more kick, but that&#39;s me being picky.

The pizza dough was thin and properly baked in their stone oven. Sat under the trees with quiet music playing, made for a calm lunch stop.

The terrace view really is lovely, and the setting feels quite romantic. We kept it simple and ordered a few things off the short menu&mdash;everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Staff were friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Wine list is a bit limited, but the local beer worked fine as a backup. Would sit outside again.

The beach itself is lovely, but the restaurant prices are a bit much for what you get. Honestly, better to grab your own snacks and drinks and just enjoy the sand.

Great spot to base yourself for exploring the coast. The village feels genuinely local, not too touristy. Really liked the authentic vibe here.

The beef fillet was cooked really well and the tartare stood out too. Just note they charge around &euro;3 per person for bread and olives, which caught me off guard. Staka potatoes were saltier than I&#39;d like, but the space itself felt comfortable enough to stay a while.

Stopped here after a long drive through the mountains. The setting is what got me&mdash;quiet, green, nothing but nature around. Food was fresh and clearly local. I had the lamb, it was tender and full of flavor. Service was fine, nothing fancy, but the whole vibe made up for it. Would come back if I&#39;m ever on this side of Crete again.

Took the family here and honestly the menu is huge, so everyone found something they liked. We stayed way longer than planned just chatting, no one rushed us. My only tiny complaint is the service was a bit slow at first, but once we ordered it was fine. Good spot if you want a chill meal with people you actually like. 😊

The Greek salad and tzatziki were really good, and portions are big. It&#39;s right by the road so a bit noisy, but the food makes up for it.

The outdoor seating under the olive trees is the main draw here. Shaded and quiet, good for a slow lunch. Service was fine, nothing special. I&#39;d come back for the setting alone.

Came here for a birthday and honestly the lobster risotto was the star. Creamy, rich, and the lobster was cooked just right. They even brought out a little cake with gold leaf on top &mdash; looked almost too pretty to eat. Service was friendly but it did get a bit busy later in the evening. Would come back for that risotto again.

The zucchini meatballs were decent, and the truffle oil fries were pretty good too. Plating looked nice, and the price felt fair for what you get. Place was a bit busy when I went, but the food came out quick enough. Fine spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

The burger was 15 euros and honestly, that&rsquo;s a solid deal. It came out well put together, juicy, not falling apart. Probably the best value I found around here. The place itself was a bit tight seating-wise, but I&rsquo;d still go back for that price.

Good spot for a lazy beach day. Beds are comfy and you can order drinks right from your spot. Just mind the 15 euro minimum per umbrella set.

Stopped here for lunch and honestly the food was the highlight 🍽️ Got the grilled octopus and it was super tender, not chewy at all. View of the beach from the table was a nice bonus too. Service was friendly but a bit slow since it got busy. Still, I&rsquo;d come back with friends for a chill afternoon.

We stumbled in late without a booking and they still found us a table. The lamb was tender, portions huge. Felt like eating at someone&#39;s home.
