Kantouni — Restaurant in Municipality of Chania

Review for Kantouni Grill, Chania

Kantouni Grill is a true gem in Chania, offering simple yet outstanding Greek food in a warm and welcoming setting. The highlight of our visit was the incredible service from Josef—friendly, attentive, and always making sure everything was perfect.
