Sitia Restaurants

  1. Balcony

    The finest dining in Sitia is on the 1st floor of this charmingly decorated neoclassical building. It has an eclectic menu of fusion cuisine, from Cretan to Mexican and Asian-inspired dishes from the charmingly feisty owner-chef (and ex-singer) Tonya's travels. Service can be patchy.

  2. Houlis Rakadiko

    For a classic local experience try this old place, which has a wide range of fine mezedes accompanied by good raki. It has no signage, but it's the second place from the corner; by day it's packed with men playing backgammon.

  3. Mitsakakis

    For a sweet treat, the galaktoboureko (custard-filled pastry with syrup) is highly recommended.

  8. Sitia Beach

    This unassuming place on the beach makes a decent pizza but it is more highly recommended for home-style cooking that appears daily on the specials board. Try the pork with lemon and rice.
