Scenic waterfront spot delivering broad Greek-Mediterranean crowd-pleasers with warm, sometimes over-eager service; best for views, mixed plates, and easygoing dinners rather than purist Cretan cuisine.
Right on the marina, Anthos sets a sunny stage with bougainvillea, shaded tables, and sparkling sea views. Service is upbeat and hands-on; some love the check-ins while others find it a touch much. One diner summed it up: "We lingered by the water and felt warmly looked after." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans classic Mediterranean with a Greek tilt rather than cheffy theatrics: big bowls of pasta, shareable mixed grills, lamb shanks, and familiar seafood. Portions are generous and prices fair for the waterfront, though premium steaks run higher. Expect reliable comfort more than purist Cretan nuance; seafood doneness can vary, but crowd-pleasers like the mixed grill and creamy pastas draw repeat visitors. Families fit right in. Kids gravitate to pizza, pasta, and gyros, and portions are easy to split. There is no explicit kids menu mentioned, but the accessible dishes and relaxed setting work well for younger eaters. If your crew prefers very traditional Cretan plates only, options exist yet the menu is broader and more international.
