Meltemi - Beach Bar Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Chersonissos

This beach & pool club is modern and clean. We sat at the pool which was 10 euro per padded cushion sunbed which is at the expense end for Crete. 20 euros per set of 2. Drinks can be ordered at the bar or with a waiter. There's a restaurant serving typical burgers, club sandwiches etc along with Greek plates if you want to sit in the restaurant rather than at your sunbed.

Unless you’re planning on paying to use a beach, give this one a miss and don’t give...

It’s clean. Lovely views and good food. The best part is the family who run the place. We found a deal to stay in Koutouloufari for cheap with not the best reviews. As we love the village so much we took the gamble knowing the we had this place as a back up! We only came twice in 2023 but we were remembered. This time we visted 3 times 10:30-6pm. (FYI - It’s...
