We thoroughly enjoyed our meal from start to finish. A stunning view of Agios Nikolaos by night from our table, excellent, friendly service and delicious food. The steak was particularly good. Very enjoyable live piano music in the background and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended, as is the adjoining cafe for drinks and snacks in the daytime with the same, fantastic view.

Fantastic place for food. Good portion’s well cooked, family owned established for years. Always eat here when in Ageos. Great choice of traditional meals. Always amazed how 2 men can service so many tables and not have any tables with dirty pots on. Love this place.

A place can get it so very wrong with the music selection... not here at Kimzu! Spent a day eating, drinking, swimming and relaxing listening to a good selection of chilled out tunes... definitely has an Ibiza beach club feel about it. A big plus are the lovely, clean and funky toilets! Prices are very reasonable... nice cocktails. If you are in the area definitely go spend a day there!

To Pareaki

Reviewed By Astakos

Stumbled upon this place as it was close to our hotel, Food was good and service was great too. They have a wide selection of different types of food and what we had seemed very fresh, Won’t say it’s the best restaurant in Agios Nikolaos but would go back again if we was in the area Only downside with it it’s aimed at the Russian customers hence most of the wording of the signs and menu was in Russian. Nevertheless will visit next time in Crete

Based on the TripAdvisor reviews I chose Piato for a dinner with my kids and it was absolutely amazing. The food selection is very unique and different from all the mainstream and it’s super delicious. The waiters are super attentive, friendly especially with kids. The wine list is amazing and the waiters will give you very good recommendations and information. Just follow their advice. It’s really a great place even though not so central. You will definitely not be disappointed! thank you very much for your visit! You are more than welcome for your next visit!

Gorgona Taverna

A traditional greek fish tavern right at the small port of Plaka, Elounda with a splendid view of Spinalonga Island

Reviewed By theoldwhalinghouse

I’m very partial to grilled sardines and when I asked the concierge at my hotel at Elounda which taverna in the area served the best sardines, she at once replied: ‘Gorgona in Plaka.’Like all recommendations in Greece, I wondered if this was a stitch-up. The taxi driver who drove me the five kilometres there and back was probably her brother; the owner of Taverna Gorgona her cousin. But the grilled sardines, cooked on an open grill were to die for. I followed the sardines with calamari, washed down with a small bottle of Retsina. The bill came to less than 15 Euros. It was a charming experience and I was furious that I had discovered it on the last night of my holiday.Like all Greek resorts, Plaka seems to have as many tavernas as residents so save yourself the agony of indecision and make straight for Gorgona. It’s a friendly family taverna on a premium spot on the waterfront with a view of Spinalonga island. It has a very substantial menu but I suggest that you stick to what is fresh and caught locally and ask for a table outside at the water’s edge. Now here’s something that’s never happened to me before: at Heraklion airport on the way home, a woman came up to me and said, ‘Was it you we saw having dinner at Gorgona last night?’ ‘Yes it was,’ I replied, surprised. ‘Why?’'My husband and I were at the table right behind you,' she said. ‘We saw your sardines and ordered the same. We had the best meal of the holiday’. ‘Same here,’ I told her.
