What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Krikri is celebrated for its authentic Greek and Cretan cuisine, with standout dishes like fried zucchini and grilled fish.

"My favourite taverna in Agios Nikolaos, with good service, and excellent food. Their grilled sardines are delicious, and they're one of very few places with tradiional horta (greens) on the menu. They have "burgers" that are amazing, made from minced beef and pork, so good we had them several times. The pork chop I had was large, and succulent. Highly recommended!"

"Lovely little Taverna in Agios. Manos gave us a warm welcome, looked after us and made for a wonderful evening. Tasty, well presented and gold priced food, matched with the lovely family house wine. The grilled lamb chops were very tasty. Will
Come back again when we’re next in Agios Nikolaos!"
