They have one of the best pork brochettes in the whole of Greece. Try pitakia (small pies) with cheese and local greens.
Look for Manolis and Niko, tell them Michael from Limnes sent you. Raki, and last but mot least try bourekakia for desert. Call to reserve the place is packed. Opens at 1900 except for Sundays that they open at noon.

Well to begin with, the hidden square under the great centuries old plane tree, is absolutely amazing. The owner Kosti 's wife, is a great cook. The establishment specializes in traditional cretan cuisine, and you should try the celery pork, traditional cretan pasta "skioufikta" veal a l'eshalottes, great greens and salads, order dako and cretan salad. Don't miss out on the tender chicken skewers, and of course escargots with rosemary and vinegar called boubouristoi. Tell Kosti I said hi. Reserve ahead 28410 90776

This is the best fish place in the whole world! Directly opposite the abandoned island of Spinalonga, a prior lepper colony, the setting will take your breath away. The owners father owns fishing boats, so you can choose from a wide variety of fresh fish, all sizes, octapie on the grill, shrimps, lobsters you name it. You can ask ahead for a specific fish according to your preference, and Giovanni will see it through. Take a big seabream of 2 kilos or more, salads and appetisers like fried calamari, grilled octapus. If you like pasta, ask for a spagetti with lobster of shrimps. Great food guys don't miss out on this. https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/284015257/

It is close to the cottage, and has decent coffee and other breakfast delicacies. You can get bread and related goods, pies sandwiches and a large variety of ice creams. I usually get take away coffees and sandwiches for the beach. It is in my mind a morning place and has wifi.

In english Liondas. Located in Neapoli opposite cafe Milo. Great ice creams and desserts, but the thing to absolutely try are the fried dough boulets with honey and cinammon. That is their specialty, and you can even accomodate a ball of ice cream in the plate. Those marvels are a traditional greek delicacy called "Loukoumades" . Finger licking good. Just diagonally opposite the Milo Cafe. Go there people. No need to reserve.

Place is just around the corner (20 meters) and everything on the menu is fantastic. Try skewers pork and chicken, the great omelette with fries, escargots, boiled greens (chórta), burger (biftėki) and drink raki the traditional cretan drink. You will find the prices to your liking :) Opens at 1800 but Sundays you can go at noon.
