The Sailor
About
The Sailor in Crete occupies a spot at Bali Port, Milopotamos 740 57, on the island's northern coast. It is a restaurant, and its website is thesailorsbar.gr. A 4.9 out of 5 score from 366 reviews makes it one of the better-reviewed places along this stretch.
Guests come for the setting by the water at Bali Port, where the harbour gives the place its name and its outlook. Menus on Crete commonly list horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills, so expect that register of cooking. First-time visitors should plan for a relaxed meal rather than a quick stop, with the port itself part of the draw.
The address sits within the Milopotamos area, between Rethymno and Heraklion on the main north coast route. Chania and Agios Nikolaos are also reachable by road for anyone touring the island.
Winter brings rain and rougher seas, and many hotels and tavernas on the island close between November and March. The Greek islands run on a Mediterranean pattern of hot, dry summers and milder, wetter winters. Inland, the terrain is rocky and hilly, with olives, grapes and capers on terraced slopes.
