  • 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.

  • Marilena, Elounda

    Simply grilled fresh seafood is what Marilena does best, though it also serves other Greek dishes, created with an appealing lightness of touch.

  • Nikos Platanakis, Kato Zakros

    On a terrace overlooking the sea, this restaurant serves fish, game and vegetarian meals.

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

  • 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.

  • A fine old taverna close to the fishing harbour, noted locally for its seafood. Its courtyard suits summer dining.

  • The most luxurious restaurant in eastern Crete, situated in the Elounda Mare Hotel (see Elounda Mare Hotel, Elounda). The menu combines the best of Greece with international cuisine. Booking essential; dress code formal.

  • Zorbas, Siteia

    A long-established taverna serving freshly grilled fish and lobster, traditional Cretan dishes, charcoal-grilled meats and meze.
