  • This quiet restaurant serves Cretan and other Greek dishes and is very popular with locals. Pleasant courtyard.

  • A quieter, more traditional island in Malia’s sea of neon-lit cocktail bars. Choose from ouzos and meze and Cretan wine from the barrel.

  • A remarkable café-bar set in the city’s old icehouse, serving Italian, Greek and iced coffee all day long. The decoration includes mementos of the building’s past, including the old ice lift.

  • Pallas Café, Chania

    This elegant rendezvous in an old Venetian mansion on the harbour opens early and stays open late. It has tables on the quay, up on a roof terrace and inside, within rooms prettily decorated with frescoes.

  • Paradiso, Agia Galini

    Large music bar close to the harbour, which only gets going after dinner, then rocks into the small hours, with loud music and a young clientele.

  • One of the best places for fish in Siteia, with tables overlooking the waterfront esplanade.

  • Porfira brings Cretan cooking to gourmet heights, serving a selection of uniquely Cretan dishes. The waiters are happy to guide you through the menu and will gladly explain some of the less recognizable ingredients. Set on a terrace overlooking the beach (see Porfira, Makrygialos).

  • In the unlikely setting of cheap and cheerful Makrygialos, Porfira serves a gourmet menu of uniquely Cretan dishes, which staff are happy to guide you through.

  • Catering mainly for visitors, the menu encompasses Greek and international dishes, a long list of grilled seafood and a reasonable wine list.

  • Made from liatiko red wine grapes blended with white varieties, this rosé is best served chilled to the bone.
