Μεζεδοπωλεῖο "Ἡ Αὐλή"
Greek restaurant
👍👍 One of our favourite (if not THE BEST) food experiences in Crete. It’s run by a family and the daughter sat down with us to explain each dish in English. She was funny and brutally honest and I loved that about her. Some of the dishes sounded really unique compared to the regular offer in other Cret...

Thigaterra - The Art of Slow Food
Greek restaurant
👍👍 Creten cuisine at it's finest. A place where tourists and locals both like to eat. Also one of the few places where we found good local cocktails on the menu in Greece. The serving sizes are good and our family of 5 were barely able to finish the mixed grill. Service was knowledgeable about food and...

Merastri
Greek restaurant
😠 I arrived right when they opened according to google which is 6 pm. I was told they were not open yet and to come back in an hour. I asked that if I needed to make a reservation since I wanted to sit outside. The host said: “no when you come back we will seat you outside”. I came back in an hour and...

👍👍 This was our favourite meal in Heraklion! Excellent food, service and atmosphere. An authentic eatery worth every penny. Everything we tried was exceptional but the chocolate dessert blew my mind!!! Also a very portion of Raki! Could not recommend this place more. 12/10.

Amusement center
👍👍 Excellent experience. When the game master is as passionate as you are, this can be only a good moment. We did the white diamond which is indeed a difficult room (we were a group of 2). It was really immersive and had a lot of puzzles. But was good :-). We had not enough time to do other rooms but w...

Cine Gyros
Gyro restaurant
👍 The Gyros was quite huge in size, and the employee was freindly. I was not able to finish the large portion myself, better take a small one. However, the taste was a little bit plain / dry. I think a sauce or/and more vegetables would make it juicier.

Both the doctor himself and his assistant showed interest and conscientiousness from the beginning. It was closing time, evening, yet they stayed and waited for me. Wi...
