Angela By the Sea — Restaurant in Municipality of Platanias

We had the best time (and freakin’ delicious food) at this place. Would recommend it to everyone.

First of all the vibe and atmosphere was so comfortable, freeing and warm. Just what we needed to feel like we were really truly back in Crete. The staff took such good care of us. They were so warm and welcoming and they made us feel so welcome and appreciated. Smiles and positive vibes all around at this place. The owner of the restaurant even took some time to sit down with us, telling us stories about the area, the traditions and gave us tips about stuff in Crete in general - such a warm and welcoming person. I can’t stress this enough; the vibe and atmosphere really made our whole vacation in Crete so much better 💃🍸🌊☀️

Also - as mentioned- the food was really, really delicious 🤤 on the first day we had the seafood platter with white wine. Yum, yum, YUM !! 🤤😋 so exceptionally delicious, fresh and tasty! The second time we were here, we tried the lamb and also Stifádo. Both very tasty, tender and delicious too.

Also it is definitely worth mentioning that they managed to make gluten free dishes for me (I have celiac disease, so I can’t eat gluten) but they made the necessary adjustments to make sure my food was safe for me to eat, even though it wasn’t on their menu or anything. Felt safe and taken care of here. So if you are celiac and want to try some delicious Greek food, I recommend this place also. (Just tell them, and they will adjust the menu. They serve traditional Greek food.)

Last but not least the view just by the sea, the harbour and Agioi Theodoroi is absolutely stunning. 🤩

Only good things to say about this place....

Nice and quiet with location almost on the beach itself. We spend a week booked through Detur at a great value for money. Location away from street and close to beach is great. We had one room appartment on second floor. The ac next to balcony was noisy but the wawes pounding the beach made it delightful to sleep with balcony door open. Spacious balcony is great. No soap or dish washing liquid available on arrival. Restaurant was closed the one time we...

Great place for a drink and to watch the sunset on the beach. We spent a week in Platanias and kept coming back to Angela, the other beach bars just don’t have the same atmosphere; so chilled and relaxing. The staff are lovely and the service is excellent, a really authentic feel...
