The best meal I had in Greece. The salad was the best salad I've ever had in my life, and the chicken was slow cooked to perfection. Amazing food cooked with such simple ingredients.

Márcio Reis

Amazing place & food for a special dinner , very well organized ! Preferably make a reservation , we didn't made so we need to wait 30min for a table. Fair prices . Crete salad & Smoked pork were amazing.

Georgina Jenkins

The smoked pork was excellent!! The other pork dishes and the goat were also really good. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a lovely garden to eat in. Best food I've had in Greece so far!

Fantastic creating cuisine, great ambience. Try EVERYTHING! Not to miss: their homemade fizzy drinks(karteraki is the best), the "syglino prin to kioupi" dish, apaki, and sfakianipitta dessert .

Carina van der Linde

We had the most delicious meal of our entire holiday at Peskesi. The service was great, the wine recommendation spot on and the food delicious.

Nico Cinefra

Incredible and enjoyable dinner . Syglino was superb: Pork ribs are hooked into a small grill and you have to smoke them by yourself adding thyme and sage leaves to the fire. Very typical location.

Nguyen Vu

the best authentic in heraklion, we tried the fried snails for appetizer , house wine , goat and rabbit for main foods. All foods were fresh and absolutely amazing #creta#heraklion#peskesi
