antico
About
antico, on Crete, sits in Chersonisos on the northern coast, at Agias Paraskevis 41, Chersonisos 700 14, Greece. The street runs inland from the resort's seafront, so the address is a short walk from the beach strip.
First-time visitors to antico can expect a restaurant setting in the middle of a busy resort town, with the sort of table service that suits an evening meal after a day on the coast. A 4.3 out of 5 score from 141 reviews places it in solid territory among the many places to eat in Chersonisos.
Heraklion is the nearest large city and the usual arrival point, while Chania, Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos are all reachable by the island's main roads. Ierapetra and Sitia lie far to the east, and Matala and Elafonisi to the west, so those are day-trip distances rather than quick errands.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, which is the broad tradition this part of Crete works within. The Greek islands have a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, so summer evenings here are long and warm.
