Crete, Greece Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Kissamos

March 26, 2020 Sachiko Swiger

Reviews on European food in Kissamos, Crete, Greece. Kissamos (Greek: Κίσσαμος) is a town and municipality, multiple (former) bishopric and Latin titular see in the west of the island of Crete, Greece. It is part of the Chania regional unit and of the former Kissamos Province which covers the northwest corner of the island. The city of Kissamos is also known as Kastelli Kissamou and often known simply as Kastelli after the Venetian castle that was there. It is now a port and fishing harbour, with a regular ferry from the Peloponnese via Kythira. A town museum is located in the old Venetian governor's palace and there have been important archaeological finds in the town, including fine mosaics, dating from the Roman city of Kisamos (Κίσαμος, Latinized as Cisamus). The head town of the municipality (Δήμος Κισσάμου) is Kastelli-Kissamos itself.

Reviewed By Livia G

The location is nice and the service is good. We've decided to take what the waitress recommended: stuffed calamari and tuna steak which were good and well prepared, but the side dishes ruined everything: cold mashed potatoes for the calamari and cold cus-cus and vegetables salad for the tuna.Hi Livia, we are sorry to hear that you received cold mashed potatoes and cus-cus. Though, the cold mashed potatoes where a potato salad that is always served cold and never warm. We do have a different twist, so our food is quite peculiar sometimes with the side dishes, but it's always made with the best culinary chemistry combinations to please the palate. So, we hope that you at least enjoyed the combination of food.

Limani Fish Tavern

Reviewed By Topgun21041962

this is a mostly only unsual place at teh Kassimos port.This is really off teh beaten tracks with only GREEK population dining out.Most importantly this seems to be the only place whereyou can eat wild fish ( non farming) .Ask the waiter to see the fish in the fridge.They will be quite honest with you telling what is coming from the Greek farm and what is wild.You choose teh fish and tehy weight it in front of you.We were able to eat a Saragos and the hook with the line was still there..This is a very big difference with all teh fishing farms you find across Creta where all what you eat is farming fishThe grilled the fish with vegetables alongside a bit of olive oil.Perfect.Good service.

Naya Beach Bar-Restaurant

Naya Beach Bar is located in Livadia Beach near Kalleriana village next to the town of Kissamos. The peaceful and friendly atmosphere combined with the beautiful, sandy beach nearby guarantees an unforgettable summer experience. Come early in the morning

Reviewed By ascaramangas

This beach bar has a nice setting facing the seafront. A lawn separates the tables from the beach. Airy style and friendly service. The "kaltsouni" with herbs is excellent. The zucchini sticks and the Naya salad fell short of expectations. Staff should look after the toilets better.

Great little family-run taverna with lovely views overlooking the monastry and coast. Enjoyed lovely rustic salads, cheeses, sausages, lamb chops etc over two visits. Typical Greek food and well cooked/prepared using their own produce a lot of the time.

Overlooking beach but set back a bit so a little sheltered. Nice and friendly staff. Not so keen on widescreen tv which I find a bit distracting but can't fault the food or service. The fish is fresh and changes each day according to catch. We went back for a second visit (luckily no tv the second time).

We went there twice already, great fish, good meat, big portions; try the zucchini flowers as a starter at all costs; and a great view directly looking at the sea. Very friendly staff makes good recommendations. Some cats running around hoping for food, but somehow well trained to only mew once and then go away :)

Tradition is difficult to preserve in our days. However, Maracaibo restaurant is one of the few restaurant in Crete that has managed to remain intact to traditions. Our restaurant does not have a fixed menu. Why is that, though? In order to keep our tradi

Ate here last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The service and food was excellent. They were very very busy but didn’t rush us at all. Booking is probably a good idea. Mrs half Ear is quite the character and her and her husband should be proud of their wonderful restaurant. Don’t be put off that it is a little off the beaten track it is just off the main road and you can’t miss it. We will be back soon.Thank you very much for your nice words. We are very busy during mid-August because of local festivals and tourism. It's always good to call and book a table in case you want to be sure you'll find your spot. We are looking forward to seeing you again :)

This small restaurant is run by a young couple, Irene serving and her husband cooking. They are really good at what they do, everything we ate was delicious and really genuine (some dishes are their grandmother's recipe). The owners are very nice and want to make you feel like at home. You will do. Portions are generous and price is good. Highly recommended!

A small traditional restaurant on the road to Elafonisi, family run place, very calm and familiar atmosphere. The food is the most authentic Cretan one so far, and I'm really picky. Price is cheap.Come to try it out.
