Dining Out

We have recommendations for excellent local tavernas and restaurants in Plakias and nearby villages. Most eateries have great views of the sea & the mountains.

The food is mostly traditional Cretan, with local fresh vegetables, fish and meat.

There are a couple of good pizza places in the area, as well as several cafes.

Many of the local restaurants are vegan and vegetarian friendly.

In the city of Rethymno (40 minute-drive), there are also some good restaurants with a range of international cuisine - Indian, Chinese, Italian & Japanese.

Dining In

Most of the villas & the apartments where our clients are staying are self-catered properties, with well equipped kitchens. If you enjoy cooking, you can cook for yourself, using fresh ingredients from local markets and shops.

You can have your groceries delivered. You can order take-aways, if you prefer. We can also arrange a hassle-free dining experience tailored to your preferences & needs.

Whether you are a fine-quality meat lover, a pescatarian who loves fresh local sea food, or a vegetarian/vegan who craves vibrant organic fruits and fresh vegetables, we can make all the necessary arrangements to cater for your dietary needs.

We can arrange for a personal chef, or even a catering team to offer a full-service, taking care of every aspect of your dining experience at your villa.

You can choose from a range of menu options, from authentic traditional Cretan cuisine to more contemporary, sophisticated, or international cuisine.

If you are passionate about cooking and want to learn traditional Cretan recipes, we can arrange for cooking classes at your place, or in a Cretan home.
