This year We revisted Kariatis. They serve really delicious italian food served very nicefully and original compared to many other places where food is just slashed on a plate.

For Greece/Crete I should probably give this a 5 but internationally it would only be a 4. Tucked away nicely 1 block back from the water. Service great, lovely wine list, food was excellent. More

Humble location close to the old harbour, small terrace without any spectacular sunset views. But well-cooked and creative food, impeccable service, stylish interior design and international wine list. Not the cheapest in Chania, but a must for visiting foodies! More

This is an italian restaurant with greek portions. It is more expensive that other restaurants we tried in Chania and... More

The best restaurant ever.... Everything about this beautiful restaurant is just perfect.. The owners carmal & giannis have worked so hard and what a fantastic result.... Nobody I know has ever had a bad word to say about it, I just wish they would open one in the uk! The oven baked crepes are too die for and the fillet... More
