"Parasties": the restaurant that combines tradition and authenticity!

The restaurant "Parasties" is located in the picturesque pedestrian street of Chandakos in Heraklion and is the ultimate destination for lovers of good food. The artisanal menu is based on traditional Cretan cuisine and the dishes are prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

The experience of cooking at the restaurant is exciting with the flavours taking off from the pure ingredients carefully selected one by one.

Succulent meats , fresh fish and herbs are combined with quality olive oil to create unique dishes with a different, modern "twist".

Try the Cretan gruyere in a nut crust and handmade sweet potato jam and you will be impressed!

The restaurant has a unique glamour as it was built in 1900. When you walk through the door you feel like you are in an old Cretan mansion while the open kitchen invites you to enjoy the process of cooking... "from the inside".

It is high-ceilinged but warm and welcoming with traditional elements that charm you.

It has three levels for dining: the terrace at the entrance, the main area and the balcony overlooking the endless blue!
