Amazing Greek food with a view onto the sea: Taverna Gorgona Plaka (26. June 2022)
Finding a place close to Elounda or Plaka which is great is easy, and it’s not. There are so many nice looking restaurants by the sea that the choice is rather hard. Finally, I had asked the reception of my hotel where I should go, and they pointed me to Gorgona in Plaka. And it […]
A lovely place close to Lentas beach: Restaurant Angela’s Café (24. June 2022)
Sometimes you stumble into a good find where you didn’t expect it. I was looking for a quiet, not so known beach, and stumbled upon the Lentas Beach which is maybe 250-350 meters long, open to the public, and you don’t need to pay anything for sunbeds. So, perfect to work a bit by the […]
A place to avoid at all cost – not even for free: Mosaic Brasserie @ Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos Crete (24. June 2022)
Talking about a huge no-go, then that’s the Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos Crete. Okay, to be fair, the whole thing is quite okay in terms of looks and location and facilities. But it’s not really service oriented. Checking in took 20 minutes, but not because there were other guests, but because they are slow, […]
Not sure this place deserves two Michelin stars: Restaurant Spondi (22. June 2022)
The Spondi is located in an area I have never been to so far – and I must say, it seemed quite vivid and lovely, so, it was no wonder you would find a 2 Michelin star restaurant there. In any case, the place is not entirely Greek in terms of dishes, but definitely serves […]
Another delicious Bib Gourmand find: Restaurant Aneton (22. June 2022)
Another great Bib Gourmand find – in the midst of a hard day’s work when the weather is unbearable (in terms of heat), it’s best to step out and get some delicious food in. I went for the “multicoloured cherry tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, olives, peppers, feta, basil” (EUR 11.00) which were great because the tomatoes […]
A very well-deserved Michelin star with a few tasty surprises: Restaurant CTC Urban Gastronomy (21. June 2022)
The CTC Urban Gastronomy has recently been awarded 1 Michelin star and is definitely worth visiting. The place is lovely in terms of location – it is in a rather shabby area which is hip but not really ‘beautiful’ as it holds. However, if you enter the place, you are immediately caught up in a […]
A great Bib Gourmand find for lunch: Restaurant Ergon House (21. June 2022)
I love the ‘Guide Michelin’ app, since it does not only guide you to the starred restaurants, but also to the ‘Bib Gourmand’ recommendations, where you can find great bites in a lovely setting for very fair prices. For lunch, I wanted to have a few small bites like the “Pita bread” (EUR 2.50) which […]
A great rooftop bar with slow service: NYX Japanese Fusion Gastrobar @ Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection (20. June 2022)
As I had previously mentioned, there are many places from which you can see the Acropolis – be it by day or by night. The NYX Japanese Fusion Gastrobar on top of the Academias Hotel is one of them. They serve a nice range of interesting drinks like the “Down To Earth (42 below vodka […]
