The best Greek restaurants Elounda

Very nice, this small family tavern with traditional decor in pastel green tones is installed on the port. The simple but quality dishes are well served. Daily fresh fish on display in the window: sea bream, sea bass and lobster are all delicious. Special mention: the mezze platter for 2 people to fall on the floor! Taste, among others, the kleftiko (lamb melting in the oven), grilled cuttlefish, grilled swordfish, tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice... Very good value for money and a warm welcome.

Vritomartes is another restaurant of Cretan specialties and fish, right in the heart of the port as it is literally located on the water! Open from March 25 to the end of October, this establishment is also accessible by sea. Coveted by tourists for the calm and the magnificent view it provides, it is advisable to book in high season. You can enjoy Greek and Cretan musical evenings and a quiet and gentle atmosphere. Taste the shells and especially the gyalisterés, a shell found in Greece and Crete.

The terrace of this establishment, located 2 minutes from the Aristea Hotel, is almost on the water. The restaurant's winter room is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the village, giving the place a sought-after authentic character. The cuisine is traditional, especially the fresh fish specialities, which are renowned: the varied fish platter, shellfish and seafood salad, lamb stew, veal stew with vegetables, grilled prawns... are among the favourite dishes. Very reasonable prices.
