We have eaten here on every trip to Elounda and can not wait to return in May. The waterside setting is a dream, the food consistently delicious and plentiful and the staff are alwys so genuinely pleased to see us again. Put it on your "to do list!"

Lovelly food and you're out over the water on this floating taverna...throwing crumbs to the fish is fun but you want to eat the food not waste it

The restaurant is located perfectly. Beautiful view of Elounda, Mirabello Bay, and the island of Spinalonga. We have dinner here every time when we come to Elounda and the food is always top notch. Thank to cooks. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent combination of quality, price and location.

We had read great reviews of this restaurant. It was a pleasant waterside setting but the food with the exception of the Octopus (which was excellent) was nothing special. Staff were hospitable and pleasant but did not match up to the rave reviews featured.

This is a nice location and The speed of service and cooking is good. However, both the dishes that arrived were not what I ordered and, although well cooked, were not to my taste. It is a shame the waiter, who was very pleasant, did not take more care with the orders. I write this review as advise rather than... More

Spent a lovely lazy lunch at this taverna. Freshly made stone baked pizzas were huge - we could have easily shared one had we known how big they were. If you get a table on the outside edge, you can watch all the different fish swimming in the clear water, and feed them titbits of bread to see them really... More

Being with friends, one of whom had to catch a flight, we found the service was fast and the food was excellent. As usual there was far too much food provided for us to clear the plates. The complimentary sweet of profiteroles was nearly too much, but we managed.

Staying just down the road from the Melissos made it an easy choice for a meal early on in our holiday but repeated visits arose because of the quality food, reasonable prices and the lovely service. It is a charming place to sit on a balmy evening sipping the very reasonable house wine and listening to the lapping of the... More
