SEAFOOD BY THE WATER IN CRETE
The birthplace of both the king of the Olympian gods and of modern European civilization, Crete is a Mediterranean jewel. It’s rich with archaeological and mythological history that’s reflected in its ancient ruins and cultural attractions.
Crete is the biggest of all Greek islands surrounded by warm and lovely seas being sources of fish and seafood of supreme quality.
The food in Crete is one of the gastronomic treasures of Greek’s largest island. It’s no wonder that those who visit for the ancient culture and stunning beauty are drawn into a love affair with Cretan food.
We all love a splendid view. And we appreciate it more if the scene includes the crystal clear waters of the Cretan sea. We also love good food, and what is better than good food by the sea shore? Thankfully, Crete is full of such places!
Famous places on the coast of the Cretan or the Libyan sea offer a variety of really fresh fish and seafood. Kissamos in Chania, Agia Galini in South Rethymnon, Milatos, Elounta and Plaka in Lasithi are all famous for fishing and fish restaurants.
Different species of fish prepared in different ways, mouthwatering appetizers and ouzo or wine with the sun diving into the sea as your only view, a real life miracle.
Find a little picturesque tavern by the water, enjoy traditional Greek and Cretan dishes and indulge in the ultimate Greek experience.
Eat al fresco on their patio to listen to the waves crashing on the shore and have a feast for all the senses. Kalí óreksi (or bon appetit)!
