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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😄

Been coming here for years and the food never drops in quality. Last time they let us order smaller portions to try extra dishes, which I still appreciate. That olive oil they serve is something else.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

The owner was super friendly, even came out to chat with us for a bit. We grabbed the rabbit and gyros, both were really tasty. Place is a little tucked away from the main strip, but easy enough to find if you&#39;re paying attention. Good spot if you&#39;re with a small group and want something low-key. 😊
