A WELL-DESERVED REPUTATION FOR THE BEST FOOD
Whether it’s a simple ‘gyros’ from the ‘Tsikna’ Station on the beach to a seven course candlelit dinner in a private villa...
One of the places you must visit during your stay is the ‘Orea Hellas’ traditional kafenion (coffee shop) in the Village Square. Lovingly run by a family that have been kafenion owners for three generations. It is a living museum to the Greek heritage - from an antique ice-cooled fridge to newspapers dating back to 1950. Once you’ve sampled these tasty local delicacies, you will be ready to dine al fresco in one of the award-winning restaurants.
One of the special features of the Creta Palace is that (weather permitting) all meals may be enjoyed outdoors.
