kalipso - Akti Kountourioti 10

The foods was tasteless, they just make big portions make you feel how it worth to pay.

We really enjoyed our bottle of wine here overlooking the historic lighthouse and sea. The staff was very friendly and they had a Sommelier to help us pick a great Cretan wine!

I’ve been a regular here for months and Kalipso is fantastic. The view alone is beautiful, but where the restaurant really shines is the quality of service and food. I cannot express how great the staff is in words. They really treat you like family and the quality of the food is top notch. If you’re a tourist or stationed in Chania, I highly recommend you visit Kalipso. Great food, great people, and boots of beer if that’s your style!

A complete tourist trap. Don't fall for the free drink or dessert, it's a tiny shot glass and a tiny scoop. This place is also pricey, way more than the other places. All this would be okay, of the food was good.... Which is wasn't. The service deserves a 4 star, the rest of Kalipso deserves a 1 star.

Typical tourist trap.... but a nice one! That luring, tourist catching waiter dragged my wife into a lunch at their place. Honestly, I wanted another place, but it just happened. An accident that turned out pretty good. Their FISH SOUP was one of the best we had! Seriously. Out of many places, we visited at the west coast. Very intense flavours. Never imposing, nicely balanced. Also nice junks of fish and shrimp to round up a perfect package. A delight, you should not miss! The FRIED SNAILS were a challenge, I have to say. The worst I have had, ever. And we ate them a lot and with please all around France and wherever. They were fresh and properly cooked, I have to admit. But something was not quite right. Our son still ate them with pleasure .... because he still does not know how good ones taste. The SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE, which I your have never ordered outside of Italy were the surprise if the day. Nice & tasty pasta, which I would have never expected. A bit more than al dente, but that's how I like them. Not too soft either. Just right. Smooths and lovely seasoned Bolognese sauce to round up the package. A winner combination, which I loved to eat, instead of our son who refused to have them. Nice PISTACHIO ICE-CREAM as a compliment rounded a quite nice experience up to 4 stars. The waiter turned out to be a real nice guy, by the way. I charged him wrong at first sight and hopefully made it up while chit chatting and laughing while we were fooling around afterwards. Stay away from the rosemary trenched snails and you will get a proper 5 star experience in this touristic area. Bravo!

Great place to stop and eat while walking through Chania! They don’t jump out and force you to sit. The owners are nice guys and treat everyone well.

Had a really great time at Kalipso this evening. The host was really friendly and funny. The food was good, huge portions with loads of feta in everything - even if it you don’t think it belongs (where does feta not belong?) Would definitely recommend. Despite what some would consider a tourist trap - I would be pretty happy being trapped here

really nice place right next to the water. host had us seated immediately with menus and drinks. food was all very fresh and big portions. all the staff were lovely and spoke great english so it was perfect for us haha. we also got free ice cream :)
