Maria’s Taverna

This is a popular traditional eatery, relaxed and cheerful, serving well-prepared Cretan, Greek and international favourites in its leafy-green garden. It stands on the edge of Kato Stalos settlement, at the start of the long beach strip west of Chania.

Dining

A multitude of restaurants in Chania's old town, harbour area, and along the coast offer excellent (often al fresco) dining, relaxed and informal. Grilled fish and lamb dishes are specialities, plus vegetable dishes like boureki (courgette, cheese and potato bake) and melitzanokleftedes (aubergine patties). Cooking relies heavily on seasonal ingredients, most taverns specialising primarily in organic, locally sourced produce.
