Il Forno
About
Il Forno, on Crete, sits at Λιμανι, Αποκορώνου in Kalives 730 03, close to the water on the island's north-west coast. First-time visitors should expect a busy room, since the restaurant carries 508 reviews and a 4.5 out of 5 score from those guests.
That volume of feedback marks it as one of the better-established tables in the area. Chania and Rethymno are the nearest of the main towns, and both are a straightforward drive along the coast road. Heraklion lies further east, while Agios Nikolaos and Ierapetra sit beyond it.
Kalives itself is a coastal village, which places the restaurant within reach of the resort strip without being in the middle of it. Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, so the local cooking is easy to find alongside the kitchen's own dishes.
Only some islands have airports, and others are reached mainly from Athens or through a larger hub island, so arrivals by sea are part of the picture here. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes.
