DINING
Delight your taste buds in six dining options
At Agapi Beach Resort, dining means more than simply eating; it involves coming together with family and friends, to savor our time together while we savor what is on the plates of our Crete restaurants and bars. The Cretan diet – rich in fruit, vegetables, grains and olive oil – is known for its healthfulness and its focus on homegrown produce. We are committed to crafting, delicious dishes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients – some of which have been chosen from right here in our hotel garden.
RESTAURANTS & BARS
The meal plan at our premium all-inclusive resort allows you to choose from five different dining options and four bars; it encompasses meals, snacks and beverages from first thing in the morning until late in the evening.
Our main restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. You can also celebrate Cretan culture at Greek Taverna Akrogiali, feast on tasty street food-inspired fare at Taka-Taka or sample Italian favorites at Piazza d’ Italia. Complement your food with a pre- or post-meal cocktail at the Main Bar, or cool off with a drink at the Pool Bar as you contemplate another sunny day in Crete.
