"🍽 Cretan Blue – A Must-Try Restaurant in Hersonissos
Cretan Blue is a beautiful restaurant that truly delivers on both quality and value. The portions are large and generous, the flavors are unique and absolutely delicious, and every dish feels fresh and carefully prepared.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a lovely vibe that makes you want to stay longer. The waiters deserve a perfect 10/10 for their friendliness, professionalism, and the way they treated us—like valued guests rather than just customers.
Dining here was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and it’s definitely a place we’ll remember fondly from our trip. Highly recommended!"

"Absolutely breathtaking location, large portion sizes and very friendly staff. Slightly slow service to begin with, food wasn’t outstanding given its slightly more expensive here compared to your typical traditional Greek restaurants but you’re paying for the location too I guess! The small tasty complimentary dessert was a bonus too😊I would recommend to visit if you’re in Hersonissos and manage to get a reservation- as it is such a wonderful experience to eat here!"
Tia Cocca
"Such a beautiful place. I saw it on TikTok and immediately wanted to go there. We went at 2pm so it was empty, but if you go in the evening you should definitely reserve a table. The prices are affordable and totally normal. The staff was super friendly. Only negative was that we got offered water and we assumed it was on the house because she didn’t communicate a price but it ended up being 4€. But other than that it was perfect."
