Big Blue
About
Found on Crete, Big Blue sits at Pontou & Makedonias 10, Anisaras, Chersonisos 700 14, Greece, on the island's northern coast. The restaurant lies within reach of Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos, so arrivals by air or ferry can continue onward by road.
Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi also lie within the island's wider road network. Guests have given it a 4.6/5 rating across 547 reviews, a substantial record built over many visits. The website at http://the-bigblue.gr/ provides the main online reference.
First-time visitors should expect a northern-coast setting in the Chersonisos area, with the island's larger towns reachable by car. Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, so meals here sit within a familiar repertoire of Greek island cooking.
Daily life slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening, which shapes when the coast is busiest. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes, so day trips to nearby historic centres are straightforward.
