One of the main reasons why people come to Crete is to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and the healthy diet. Why is the local produce so good? Perhaps it is to do with the growing conditions, the cultivation, and the love for tradition and quality.

What makes a good restaurant? Surely the quality of the food. Or is it the skill of the chef? The excellent service, the friendly atmosphere? Let's face it, all of these things matter. Combined with the locally cultivated produce, which is rich in vitamins and taste, Cretan restaurants are often hard to beat.
