Faros Seaside restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Faros Fish Restaurant in Agios Nikolaos, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone for an authentic seafood adventure.

The location offers stunning views of the beach, creating a picturesque backdrop that enhances the entire dining experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and eager to recommend their freshest catches, showcasing their genuine passion for quality and customer satisfaction.

The seafood itself was outstanding — beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the local grilled fish, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

What truly sets Faros apart is their commitment to freshness and authenticity, combined with a cozy yet elegant ambiance. Whether you're a seafood connoisseur or a casual diner, Faros Fish Restaurant offers a culinary journey that captures the essence of Crete’s rich maritime tradition.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, high-quality seafood experience in Agios Nikolaos. I look forward to...

Ordered for family of four evening meal- 3 appetisers which were okay, not the best but edible, and 4 mains with coke drinks. Spaghetti bolognaise which was a very small portion again nothing spectacular for the price, pizza special was like it had been warmed up from lunch hard crust couldn’t cut threw it, cold and soggy in the middle, the cheese was solidified definitely hadn’t just been cooked. Worst pizza I’ve ever eaten! Veal stifado, again very small portion for price, 3 small lumps of meat with 10 whole baby onions. Chips, barely cooked, cheap frozen ones. Same awful chips with the chicken fillet meal, chicken fillet being the only decent thing. Complementary bread you received at the beginning was like 3 day old bread stale with little butters that were still frozen. Finished off with complementary Raki which probably would have been great but I felt so disgusted by this point at the shambles of a meal we didn’t want it. Was shocked by the bill of €93 for such awful food. Very rushed and not a friendly service. The best part of this restaurant was the complementary plain baked potato. Definitely will not...

"Faros" is undoubtedly the finest restaurant in Agios Marina, offering a consistent selection of fresh seafood and shellfish, masterfully grilled to perfection. Alongside their delectable seafood offerings, you can savor traditional dishes like moussaka and gyros, accompanied by a generously portioned Greek salad. To kickstart your meal, their local grape-based Raki serves as a perfect apetizer, although it's thoughtfully served towards the end to aid digestion after indulging in the delightful fare.

The staff at "Faros" is exceptional. Their efficiency and warmth are truly commendable - always quick, attentive, and adorned with smiles. Even during peak times, they effortlessly manage to secure you a table or promptly arrange for additional seating on the terrace, ensuring you're never kept waiting.

Without a doubt, I will recommend "Faros" to all gastronomy enthusiasts. This hidden gem of a restaurant is a culinary delight, where each dish is crafted with care...
