Best Restaurants in Chania

105 restaurants analyzed · Crete

The harbour front and the covered market on Plateia Agoras anchor Chania's dining scene in honest Cretan and Greek cooking, with a strong spread of tavernas and seafood spots at mostly moderate prices. The range here is broader than you might expect for a city this size, spanning traditional mezedes to more considered Mediterranean plates, which makes it equally good for a casual lunch or a proper sit-down dinner. Restaurants lining the old Venetian harbour tend to deliver the kind of meal that earns its occasion.
