Cretan food is a highlight of any call here. Look beyond the harbourfront, where the setting is lovely but prices run higher, to the backstreet tavernas of Splantzia and Topanas for dakos, boureki, grilled fish and local raki. Many places round off the meal with a small free dessert and a shot of raki.
Getting there from the port
On the harbourfront and in the lanes just behind it.
