Thalassi Restaurant
A marriage of Cretan, Mediterranean and International flavors
The main restaurant at Kriti Beach Hotel occupies a large area on the ground floor, and glows with warm invitation to passers-by on Papanastasiou Street. Here, the Chef overindulges guests with a unique marriage of flavors, harmoniously blended to create dishes that are lighter, and more embracing of world cuisine than you will find in any other restaurant in Rethymno.
In full agreement with this love for other cultures, Thalassi surprises its patrons with a different culinary theme every evening, an opportunity for guests to learn the secrets of many divergent styles of cooking practices and traditions.
And finally, nothing quite compares with seeing the Chef and his team preparing mouthwatering dishes on the spot, in the Cooking Show area.
