  • Dining aboard a floating pontoon moored in Elounda’s small fishing harbour, with a mix of Greek and international dishes.

  • This friendly taverna offers home-cooked meals, set at outside tables overhung by tamarisk trees.

  • Karnagio serves substantial taverna meals, the traditional favourites including grilled meats and huge peasant salads with feta cheese.

  • Karnagio, Chania

    Also on Chania’s Venetian harbour is Karnagio. It offers a good range of traditional dishes, as well as grilled chicken, pork and lamb, huge peasant salads and a slender range of fish dishes. Pleasantly set in a walled courtyard (see Karnagio, Chania).

  • Sweet and refreshing pink cubes of chilled watermelon are among the most popular summertime meze.

  • to eat in the Chersonisos resort area. The house speciality is tender lamb kleftiko , roasted slowly in a paper wrapping with garlic, lemon and herbs.

  • Virtually 24-hour drinking is the main selling point of this bar, attracting those who like to party all night and sleep on the beach all day.

  • This potent red wine with a 13 per cent alcohol content comes from Romeiko grapes grown in Crete’s north west.

  • Ioannis Kokolakis bottles wines made from liatiko grapes grown in the Agrilos vineyards, not far from Siteia, which produce a light, dry red wine.

  • Kyria Maria, Rethymno

    This little taverna in the old quarter serves plain, village-style dishes. It fairly bustles in the evenings but is quieter at lunch time. Great value.
