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.
