Stella‘s Meze
About
Stella‘s Meze, on Crete, can be found at Palea EO Chanion Rethimnou 319, Kalives 730 03. First-time visitors should expect a restaurant setting where the meal is the main event, in line with the island's unhurried approach to eating. The kitchen has drawn 192 reviews and an average of 4.6 out of 5, a solid record among Crete's restaurants. Kalives sits on the road between Chania and Rethymno, so the venue is easy to reach from either town. Its address places it on Crete's north-western coast, along the old national road.
That stretch of coast puts Stella‘s Meze within a straightforward drive of both Chania and Rethymno, two of the island's main towns, and Heraklion lies further east along the same northern route. Guests travelling from Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra or Sitia on the eastern side of Crete face a longer journey, while Matala and Elafonisi sit to the south and west respectively. The 192 reviews behind the 4.6 out of 5 average suggest a steady stream of diners rather than a seasonal trickle.
Greek is the main language on Crete and is written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so a little patience with the script helps when navigating or ordering. Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
Only some islands have airports, and others are reached mainly from Athens or through a larger hub island, which shapes how visitors plan a trip across the group. Crete itself is served by more than one arrival point, so reaching Kalives from Chania or Rethymno is a short drive rather than a full day's travel.
