The best restaurants Kolymbari

In the shade of centuries-old plane trees, this tavern in the village of Spilia offers typical Cretan cuisine, succulent, prepared with quality ingredients. Sometimes crowded during big celebrations or weddings, it will be an opportunity to get in touch with local life. Among the dishes to be tasted: baked aubergines, au gratin, with tomato sauce and cheese, grilled lamb chops, chips (homemade), pork in wine, fried zucchini, meatballs, baked lamb, etc. A very good address!

This classic tavern, located on the beach in the village of Kolymbari near the port, offers very good fish with sea view. The various fried platters of small fish (anchovies) and shellfish and seafood (mussels, prawns, octopus, squid) or various grilled meats are a very good choice for a meal for two. Very good salads too, freshly cut and generously portioned. Several dishes and dishes based on the traditional Cretan cuisine, very successful. Good address.

This fish restaurant has been popular with the locals for about 30 years: the quality and freshness of the fish have never been compromised. We expect nothing less, knowing that the tavern also serves as a fish market where you can buy the catch of the day. Still, if it has been more than 30 years that one rushes to taste fish and sea products in this family restaurant, and since a few years the quality is still upmarket. The son has taken over the stoves and is trying out a more creative cuisine, which is very successful.
