TO PEFKO (THE PINE TREE)
Read moreThis small, traditional café offers a pleasant place to wait for the ferry in a typically Cretan atmosphere. It serves delicious breakfasts, mezzedes, waffles, homemade cakes and a wide range of drinks. Opposite the pier, the terrace offers a bird's-eye view of the island of Spinalonga. All this in the shade of a majestic old pine tree, to pefko in Greek, which gives its name to the establishment. In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious rakomelo, a typical blend of raki and honey. An ode to Cretan life!
BAKALIKO CRETE
Read moreOn the main square, this delicatessen offers a pretty terrace where you can sample refined, light Cretan specialties, such as vine leaves with yoghurt and fresh mint (made with bulgur, not rice). Various local and regional products are also on sale, including Cretan wine. The idea is to cook creatively with ingredients from neighboring farms, often organic: recipes are kindly provided on request. If you feel like it, you can even take a cooking class.
TO CHALIKOUTI
Read moreAn associative place, a sort of cooperative, offers a few tables inside and on the terrace. You can drink a very good coffee and enjoy some good, classic dishes. The menu is not very big but it will be enough to calm the small cravings after visiting the fortress of Réthymnon, just a few meters higher. In addition to being in a nice street and offering a pleasant and quiet setting, we like even more the idea that we are running a humane place and engaged in social struggles. Smiling and available staff.
SORAYA – ΣΟΡΑYΑ
Read moreDon't necessarily rely on the slightly classic appearance of this establishment from the street, as there is a beautiful terrace at the back, with a view of the sea during the day. Here you can enjoy a hearty breakfast before going to the beach, which is just behind. Also on the menu is a range of snacks and small pleasant dishes for a short lunch break. The desserts are just as good. A good address, practical at any time of the day. Free wireless internet and 4 large TV screens to watch the games.
BOUGATSA IORDANIS
Read moreAt this address, the delicious and traditional puff pastries filled with fromage frais, sprinkled or not with sugar are a reference. Since 1924, Iordanis has been revamped. No more formica tables, the room is now ultramodern and very comfortable with its bay window overlooking the street. The recipe for the classic bougatsa is always the same, mixing the crispness of the dough and the melting of the cheese, the salty and the sweet. Unless you prefer the cream version. Their reputation has been established for two or three generations!

ELA TAVERNA
Read moreNot necessarily refined, that's why you're advised to go for a quick snack, share mezzedes for example, or take a gyros. It is especially the setting that is very pleasant, even if in a pedestrian street. The shady terrace allows you to enjoy a pleasant break. Service and proper atmosphere. A little tourist machine but the courtyard and tables on the street offer a profitable framework.
OI KELLIDES
Read moreIf it were only necessary to remember one souvlaki address in Rhodes, it would be this one, a few meters from Akti Miaouli beach! Certainly, the shop doesn't really look like anything: a boui-boui a little cracks at most. As for the location, in front of a gas station, it doesn't really make you dream. However, it would be wrong to stop at appearances because it is the best pita gyros and one of the best souvlaki in the city. All the ingredients are undeniably fresh, whether it's the meat itself, the bread, or even the tzatziki!
MARGARITA
Read moreChances are you'll stop by every day if you linger here for a while. Margarita offers excellent homemade cakes and hearty, tasty breakfasts of omelette and incredible creamy Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit. All day long you can also have snacks, sandwiches, salads... The atmosphere is friendly and you will want to come back for sure! This is also where locals sit and watch the world go by. Let yourself be tempted and forget the time for a few moments...
ERISTOS KANTINA ART
Read moreStelios installs his little colourful caravan every year on Eristos beach. A small Zen paradise, we settle around the hammock tree and spend the day reading and swimming, between two strikes, a good omelette for breakfast and simple but successful snacks (including some very good hamburgers). In the evening, the place comes alive with all the beach campers who come for a drink: beers and cocktails are shared, often around a moment of music with their feet in the sand and Stelios takes care of everyone.
OASIS
Read moreThis snack bar is obviously an invitation to a snack, such as a pita or a club sandwich. However, we particularly appreciate its free deckchairs on the beach and its great tranquility. On this relatively unused part of the waterfront, swimming while you are being prepared a coffee shake or a fresh soda is a wonderful luxury at a very low price (2 € the coffee with its small bottle of water!).
LE PETIT SAVOUREUX
Read moreThis bistro has just brought to the city of Chalcis a great touch of freshness and good taste. Fresh salads, paninis, snacks to eat on site or to take away. An excellent choice for a coffee break or a refreshing fruit juice.
APOLLONION
Read moreCompletely renovated since April 2019 and with a new management, this establishment is a very good place to have a coffee, a snack or a small meal. The pastries and pastries are remarkable.
MAISON DE MEZE
Read moreThis small traditional grocery store offers very good products of the best quality you can enjoy on the few tables made available to the shop. Salty bouts are also offered every day. To watering home lemonade or ouzo, depending on time and envy.
TO KOULOURI TOU PSYRRI
Read moreKoulouri is the Greek street food par excellence. It is a small bread wrapped in sesame seeds, in the form of a large bracelet! A healthy and effective appetite suppressant, it has been satisfying munchies at any time of the day for many years. The "Koulouri de Psirri", the best in town, has been produced for over fifty years according to the secret recipe of E. Papageorgiou, the owner of this bakery.
