If you want THE typical Greek island setting and ambience, don't miss Kanali. A few hundred meters from the village center, right after the ancient salt pits, touching the water of the canal that connects the inner bay of Elounda with Mirabello bay, with roofed or open air setting, across the very old traditional stone hut that houses the kitchen...

They even catch their own lobsters here! Unpretentious, but definitely value for money. Their chips are wonderful, real potatoes, not the frozen from a bag variety. I could have made a meal just of those,

We spotted it on our way to Spinalonga and had to come back next day for lunch. It has such a special location, the fish is excellent and everything we had was great. We loved it and it was one of the highlights this summer.

Good waiters, good to average food. Frequented by many Greeks at lunchtime and at night. You go here for the atmosphere-

Just returned from Elounda where we visited the Kanail restaurant, absolutely lovely food. The location is stunning right on the causeway where you can watch the world go by. Kanali makes you feel like your in typical Cretian taverna, the staff cater to your every need and advise on meal choice. The menu is huge and varied, the mixed grill... More
