Food and Drink in Crete, Greece

There is no shortage of places to eat in Crete and eating out is not expensive. The variety and diversity of dining out in Crete is as you would expect of a popular tourist destination and there are numerous restaurants serving the finest cuisine from all around the world. Seafood and meats are specialities either side of the border and cost a similar price you expect to pay in most regions of the UK. The service is always polite, friendly and efficient and the waiting staff speak good English. Many bars offer full English breakfast for around £4 whilst an evening meal in a restaurant can be anything from £9 (€10) upwards per head. If you are on a budget and want cheap places to eat, tavernas and cafes offer good food at reasonable prices and it is always worth asking the locals what food and drink they recommend and the best local places to eat. Of course, when it comes to fast-food the usual suspects like MacDonalds and KFC are easy to find, though the local kebab and halafal shops are perfect to soak up the beer.
