Great taverna great view. What could be better than sitting watching the sun set round the harbour, eating a good meal. Has to be tried.

Opted for this restaurant as one of the top 30 recommended by tripadvisor. Found it very average, service, food and quality of experience very mediocre. It certainly has one of the best locations for eating a meal, just a shame that by the time we visited, end of season, everything seemed very tired, especially the attitude of the waiters. Wouldn't... More

We made it to Chania Town to enjoy a great dinner at the port. we walked by 100? places before we picked the worst one and didn't know it... we sat and watched the brunette waitress hug and speak with a few tables and thought we were in good hands; as all of our experiences have been great in Greece......

Great restaurant by the sea, with kind waiters and excellent service! The food was delicious, we ordered many Cretan traditional dishes and they were all excellent cooked! The place is clean (the kitchen is visible from outside and the toilets were very clean!). I would definitely recommend to my friends! :)

Went because I wanted pizza and someone said it did good pizza. Not many pizzas on offer and ended up going for local sausage and grilled fresh cuttlefish - excellent. Plus service/hospitality good.

Typical Greek taverna. Very satisfied with the food. It is often full, and many Greek customers. Much better value than those in the inner part of the harbour.

This harbour-side taverna is in a great spot. The views of the lighthouse and harbour are quite lovely. We visited this place twice during our week-long stay in Chania because of its location and the friendliness of the staff. On both occasions we enjoyed our meals and the food was OK, but nothing special. The dessert of ice cream and... More
