The best Fusion and international cuisine restaurants Iles grecques

At the foot of the hotel of the same name, the Porto Veneziano restaurant is a promising new address in town. First of all for its unique location, on the edge of the quay and with a view of the entire port of Hania. Then by the service, sincerely friendly and attentive. And finally by the dishes which, if they are for the most part in the great classics of hotel catering, allow themselves some tasty escapes towards local specialties. A fusion cuisine without excess.

The restaurant occupies the former shipyard of the island (karnagio, in Greek), a huge room made entirely of stone, very high on the ceiling, where the boats were built. If this indoor room is pleasant, you should know that there is also a "waterfront" terrace, located on a beach sheltered from most winds. You will taste here a Mediterranean cuisine of French, Italian, Moroccan and of course Greek inspiration. A la carte: aubergine stew, lemon and coriander chicken or caramelized carrots... and good Greek wines as an accompaniment. Run by a French woman, this restaurant also offers homemade desserts and a familiar musical selection, including Brassens.

This elegant restaurant is located in a small alleyway in Lindos. No terrace, but a hushed, chic atmosphere, combining tradition and modernity. The owner, Georges, takes great care to ensure impeccable, professional service. The cuisine is top-notch and very good value for money, given the dishes on offer. Once again, a special effort is made to combine traditional recipes with a contemporary approach. An establishment that has won praise far beyond Lindos' borders.

Looking for the best view of the Caldera? There's competition, but you'll probably find it at Alali. This gourmet restaurant boasts an absolutely stunning panorama not only of the crater, but also of the surrounding cliffs, with villages gleaming white like snow-capped peaks. And the nine-course tasting menu is incredible: oysters with herb and kiwi emulsion, duck breast with rosemary, cod confit à l'égéenne... You're in for an unforgettable evening.

The menu of this "fusion" restaurant, which finds its inspiration in Mexico and Crete, includes revisited dishes, carefully prepared by the renowned chef D. Malandrekis according to traditional Mexican practices. The restaurant opened its doors in 2021 with the ambition of creating a unique place in Hania, and it has already become one of the best restaurants in the city. You can enjoy, among other things, delicious tacos or meats cooked with barbacoa in a banana leaf. The Margarita cocktail is really worth trying!
