It so, so, so good. The kids love it, we love it. It’s healthy, it’s tasty, there is a wide variety of options and usually the restaurant is super fun – they take great pride in presenting the food. So fresh and you feel good after you eat it. We are not sure why this isn’t more popular globally – maybe because it requires super fresh ingredients… We love Italian food in Italy, but honestly, Greek food might be better… Here are pictures of some of the things we’ve been eating lately…
Beef with onions – kind of like a super good beef stewMore Greek salad – they have special seasoning for feta – we saw bags of it in a store.Chicken Souvlaki – one of Lincoln’s favoritesPork and feta stewGrilled pepper stuffed with feta… amazing.One of many Cheese Saganakis we’ve tried. Basically a fried cheese.Could eat Greek salad everyday… and we are!Their version of calamari – much more lightly fried and clearly very fresh squidLightly fried zucchiniThey often bring free dessert and some sort of digestif at the end of meals – Typically OuzoChicken skewerLamb with riceMore Greek saladThe grilled octopus is amazing – even Lincoln is eating it nowSausage with baked feta – one of the best things I’ve ever eatenWe often run out of room on our tablesMore SouvlakiSo nice and crispySea bass cevicheCan’t stop, won’t stopLightly fried squidPork Gyro – the meat is crispy and amazingly seasonedMore salad!YesTraditional Cretan roast beefUnexpected dessert – we think it was some sort of rum raisins. Weird, but not bad.Very fresh sea bass
Our first lunch in Crete is worthy of a few extra photos due to the incredible setting…
Often meals come with an amazing view (referring to the water, not the kid butt)Loved this placeKids playing just outside the restaurant during lunch. Magical.Great meals in an amazing setting, where your kids can go play in the ocean while you finish is a recipe for happiness

Food looks really amazing and I don’t know if your mom told you that she and I spent almost a week in Crete a lifetime ago before you and your sister were around LOL! We actually got there by default after leaving a cruise ship early after such a rough trip weather wise that included barf bags in the passageways TMI! But we ended up loving it there as well and two memories for me were that the hotel we found was full but we were the only Americans staying there! All the other guests were Scandinavian and the common language with the hotel staff was English which was great. Also, of course the food, I remember getting gyros from street stands for 15 cents and if we didn’t finish our bottle of wine at the hotel it was on our table at the next meal, do they call it Domestica or something like that? AWESOME TIME THERE!
