“ Traditional Cretan restaurant just off the main street of Stalida. While the blue sign on the street looks rather primitive, the setting just a couple of steps closer to the seashore is stunning. Tables are situated at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the bay. If you happen to be a couple, you’d probably be seated at the front row to enjoy the sunset. The food is a mix of traditional well prepared Greek cuisine, the portions tend to be on the heavier side. Be careful with ordering too many starters or you might not conquer the main course. The service is super attentive and they’ve got some special twists that make the place memorable. For example, the ladies get their special ice cubes with rose petals frozen into them. And you won’t be leaving without some digestive drinks on the house - some of those are very generous. ”
“ This is definitely the best restaurant in Crete. The dishes are exceptionally delicious and refined, with a wonderful sea view and a pleasant evening atmosphere. But what truly deserves special mention is the service – such lovely people. We were very satisfied with this service ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing. The food the service the views are incredible. I couldn’t fault anything here. They even have the little touches of roses in the ice cubes to make them look pretty. Would recommend this to anyone!! ”
