Read moreBeing in Crete for 2 weeks I visited a dozen or so tavernas and bars. But my best memories are of the dinners in Kastro! My family and I tried almost the whole menu (starters, main courses, desserts - pictures below, unfortunately they do not reflect what we had on the table, I paid more attention to savouring and talking) during several visits - everything was very good, fresh, perfectly seasoned, you could feel the good ingredients. Traditional Cretan cuisine, but in an above average way. Service professional, responsive and very, very friendly (even if very busy). Giorgos and the whole family (sorry I can't remember the other names, it's because of the raki, about which below) Thank you for a beautiful story of continuing family traditions! Terrace very spacious, full of plants, clean everywhere. And strong 5 stars for the careful selection of wines (including excellent sparkling!), I was captured by the waiter's ability to professionally describe the wine according to what was later in the nose and mouth. I have not drunk better wines anywhere in Crete. Last but not least, they serve an excellent raki, almond flavoured. It's not as strong as traditional raki, so it's also very good for people who don't like strong alcohol. When I am in Crete, I will definitely return there. Thanks again to the whole team for hosting me and...
Read moreI would first say that we drove around whole Creta in last days and ate all possible places, from cheap eats to fancy restaurants and this has least value for money. It could be our fault, because we came there looking for meze, and they had a lot to choose from, but we haven't ordered any of the main courses. I told the waiters our plan and she didn't say anything. All dishes were so small that we continued to order more. And I just want to say that it was really expensive dishes so I was super disappointed when I saw how small dishes were delivered to our table. At the end we spent a lot of money on lunch that wasn't really fulfilling. Later on, we could see huge plates for other guests, filled with meets and vegetables. So yeah, it was our fault. I just wish waiter said something when I said that I want to do meze style lunch. Now about food we ordered, we weren't impressed. It wasn't bad, but I ate so much better food at so many other places. I can't understand this average score. I don't believe that we ordered 6 different dishes and it's the ones that...
