Poseidonio Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Platanias

I must say, this restaurant left a fantastic impression on me. The food was delicious and fresh, especially the meat dish I ordered — perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. You can tell the chef really knows their craft, and the ingredients are high-quality and fresh, not mass-produced, which isn’t always the case in touristy spots.

At the very top of the restaurant, there’s a charming terrace with a beautiful view of the sea and traditional Greek houses. In the evening, with the lights on, the atmosphere becomes almost magical — you can truly feel the Greek vibe, away from the crowded resorts.

The service was incredibly friendly and warm, and — to my pleasant surprise — they even spoke Polish! This made communication easy and the whole experience very comfortable.

What’s more, at the end of our meal, we were treated by the staff to a complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream and a shot of ouzo. This was such a lovely gesture, showing how much they care about their guests and making the experience feel truly special.

The whole setting was complemented by a clean, spacious interior and soft Greek instrumental music in the background, which added to the mood without overpowering conversations.

In summary: I highly recommend this place! It’s a wonderful combination of excellent food, beautiful views, kind service, and a lovely atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic evening, a family meal, or simply enjoying a bit of Greece...

We had the Chicken Gyro and Lamb Shank. The Lamb Shank was good, real tender and juicy, served with mashed potatoes. Finally a restaurant that serves side dishes other than fries. The Lamb shank was served with pepper sauce, which took some of the lamb taste away. Should be served on the side and leave the spiced lamb to be enjoyed as is. And half a carrot was not much of a side dish. The gyro was also great.

When finised we got a chokolate cake with ice cream, we appreciated this instead of the drinks some serve at the end.

The premises were nice and the atmosphere was good. The staff were pleasant but we miss a little follow-up during dinner.

If you order a table here, check the time of the sunset. Ask for table at top floor with table on the beach side. I guarantee you will have...

The restaurant was recommended by locals, and we were not disappointed with the recommendation. We came few minutes before the sunset and there were few tables free in the front row offering spectacular view. We ordered grilled breem which was superb. Local white wine is light and drinkable. We spent there great time also chatting with the owners a Greek - Polish couple. I red some comments of dissatisfied guest who would like to have best view without making reservations or complaining on busy staff in high season. Visit Crete in September and you'll have a chance to enjoy it's pleasant weather, water and locals who are not overwhelmed with crowds of...
