The tasteful journey of Pelagos began in 1981, when it first opened its doors as a traditional restaurant to guests seeking authentic Cretan flavors by the sea. Loved by locals and travelers alike for its fresh traditional dishes and its amiable ambiance, it soon became a hub for beachfront dining. In 2015, the quaint restaurant evolved into a sophisticated restaurant that stayed true to its authentic character while incorporating a fresher, more inventive approach to both local and Mediterranean cuisine and receiving multiple awards for its fare. Our love for our island’s tastes has remained unchanged and to this day, we proudly serve you a delightful array of the finest, freshest Cretan, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, starting early every day with all-day snacks, hearty lunches and masterful dinners that please palates and hearts through taste.
