"Great food and great service with an assortment of classic Greek specialties. I loved that the roof outside was covered in grape leaves❣️ Location was on the main road for ease of commute. A great place for a casual dining. Efcharistó."

"Great wood-fired Greek-style pizza – but a bit noisy
Oregano is a fantastic pizza spot not far from where we stayed. They use a proper wood-fired oven, which gives their pizzas an amazing flavor and crispness. What really sets them apart is the Greek twist on the toppings – which I really appreciated. I didn’t come to Crete to eat standard Italian pizza, and this felt local, original, and delicious.
We also had their moussaka, which was baked in the wood oven as well – deeply flavorful and perfectly cooked. To start, we shared some meze: creamy tzatziki and oven-roasted peppers – simple and really tasty.
Both the food and the service were top-notch. The only downside was the atmosphere – a bit too much noise from loudspeakers or the street, which made it hard to fully relax. That said, if you’re there for the food, it’s absolutely worth a visit!"

"Not many restaurants with Italian cuisine around place where i stayed, but this one was popped out when i googled, and it was worth a visit! But in the end i ended up ordering chicken with excellent mushroom sauce, and very nice salad with balsamic honey dressing, and the waiter was kind enough to explain what kind of dressing it was. Of course at the end dessert on the house, which is i guess a thing in Crete. Overall highly recommended."
