Absolute insider tip. About 15 minutes before you reach the hippie caves in Matala you will find this restaurant on the right-hand side. Here you can get real Cretan food. You will be welcomed here very warmly, almost like a family. There is no menu here, just what you just did for lunch. You can simply switch off here, enjoy the food and the peace and quiet. Sensational!

Wow just absolutely amazing, the views are stunning, I had some Calamari which was delicious and my partner had the Lamb which was falling off the bone. The ambiance was just fantastic. Definitely worth a visit xx
