Ariston
About
Ariston, on Crete, is a restaurant set along PEO Kissamou Chanion 73 in Platanias 730 14, Greece, on the island's northern coast. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward restaurant with its own website at http://www.plataniasariston.com/. The menu follows what grows and swims around Crete, with horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills appearing on tables across the island.
Diners have rated Ariston 4.8 out of 5 across 68 reviews, a strong signal for anyone weighing up where to eat in Platanias. That score comes from a modest but steady stream of feedback rather than a huge sample. The restaurant sits west of Chania, and Heraklion, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie further along the coast. Matala and Elafonisi sit to the south, reachable by road.
The website at http://www.plataniasariston.com/ carries the restaurant's own information. Platanias itself is a coastal settlement on the road that follows the north shore.
For a visitor based in Chania or Rethymno, Ariston is a reasonable stop along the northern route. Orthodox Easter is the biggest festival on Crete, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, so local calendars can fill up. Reaching Crete by air works from Athens or through a larger hub island, since not every island has its own airport.
