The Poulis
About
On Crete, The Poulis sits on Poseidon Street in Schisma Elountas 720 53, close to the water on the island's north-east coast. The restaurant is known for serving diners in a village setting near the sea, with a menu built around the local catch and island cooking.
First-time visitors should expect a relaxed meal rather than a quick stop, with tables that suit both couples and groups. A rating of 4.4 out of 5, from 618 reviews, shows how consistently diners rate it. Reaching the venue from the main resorts is straightforward by road, with Agios Nikolaos a short drive away and Heraklion further west.
Schisma Elountas sits on the coast north of Agios Nikolaos, on the road toward the island's eastern tip. Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.
The season on Crete runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches, so a table here is easier to find outside that peak. Olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes across the island, and the kitchen draws on that produce. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around Crete's waters, and many beaches nearby are protected nesting sites.
