We dine at Kariatis each year (since 1997)we holiday in Crete and have always loved it. This uear though (2011) we were a bit disappointed. The young waiter didn't know what a 'corked' wine was and managed to knock over a wine glass in stretching across the table. He wasn't trained in the correct way to serve. The food, of course, is marvellous, expecially the lemonade and chcolate cake and we'll be back in September this year and again in 2012.

My husband and I have been patronizing your restaurant for three years now and we have yet to ever have even a mediocre visit. The food and service are always superb and it's nice to see the same faces each time we visit you. We recommend this restaurant to everyone that visits us because of the stellar atmosphere and experience we always enjoy, whether summer or winter, early or late.

Fanastic service, fantastic food. We loved this restaurant last October, the waiters were so attentive without being intrusive. A perfect place for a romantic meal. We had pizza one night and on the other we had the seafood pasta. Both were fantastic and it is honestly one of the best restaurants we have gone to in any country, never mind just in Hania.

Outstanding! We didn't think we'd have the best meal of our holiday in an Italian restaurant but the food was incredibly good - really great salads and the fillet steak with peppercorn sauce was to die for. We we're sorry we only discovered this fantastic place on our last night in Chania. Thanks a lot. Dave Richardson

I visited Chania a couple of years ago, and I'm very pleased to say that this restaurant is still my favourite in the whole world. And I have been eating out alot. I loved the crepes, and will definetely come back some time.

Just booked a family vacation to Hania and will certainly be vising my favorite restaurant. Been eating there for more than 10 years now through my time on Crete with the military, and it will always be "pinks" in my heart. Too bad you dropped the foccacia bread from the menu, that and tzatziki were my favorite memories of the late 90s.

This restaurant is one of the reasons we keep returning to Crete....along with the fantastic scenery & heavenly beaches! The owner is also the main chef and that makes all the difference! He does a fabulous job serving fresh food with great flavours. We tried his new restaurant Zafferano this year and it excelled all our expectations - really lovely, another reason to return to Crete.

It was a godsend to find this superb restaurant during our stay in Chania. Some of the best food we have ever been served and the magical atmosphere created by the decor and great choice of music made our dinners at Kariatis very special indeed. We were also incredibly impressed with the waitstaff. Magnifico! Will definitely return, this restaurant alone is worth the flight to Crete! Many thanks, James & Sally Voss

Hello hello! You probably don't rememeber us but i'll give it a try anyway... We visited your beautiful restaurant in the early years of business, before at least the Swedish travelling agencys found their sences to recognise it. Since then we've only spoken higly of your enterprise to everyone we know. This summer we'll be back and several visits to your place are on the top spot of our to-do-list in Crete!

Last year we went to Crete for the very first time. We were there to celebrate my mothers birthday - 60 years. We asked the guide to recomend the best restaurant in Chania for the Birthdaydinner, and he recomended "Kariatis". It was such an experience. The food was really, really good and we enjoyed it so much. We went there 4 times to eat during our vasation, because it really is the best restaurant. This sommer we will return and spend our vacation in Crete/Chania, and we have already bookede a dinnertable at Kariatis for our first night - to think,- morning in Denmark and the same night - dinner at Kariatis - it can not be a better way to start a vacation. Best regards Lena Jensen - Denmark

My husband and I visited Crete August 03 on our honeymoon, Chania is an amazing place with its character and charm. The restuarant was reccommended to us during our stay, by Carmels brother, so we thought we would go out for a nice romantic evening, the restuarant could only be described as 'perfect', there is a wide variety of dishes and the staff are professional but very friendly, they really have thought of everything to make it the best restaurant in the harbour.We visited the restaurant again on our last night, it really made our honeymoon so special.

Thank you

Mike and Heidi Lawson

Dear Kariatis Team,

we really appreciated the dinners we had at your wonderful restaurant in last October. The atmosphere, quality of food and service were amazing. From our point of view Italian food at kariatis restaurant is even better than in Italy. We are looking to being your guest again in October 2004 or 2005.

Lots of Love

Gloria & Volker from Düsseldorf/Germany

Επισκέφθηκα τα Χανιά και μου συνέστησαν το Restaurant Kariatis. ΄Ηταν το απολαυστικώτερο δείπνο που είχα εδώ και χρόνια. Η εξυπηρέτηση του προσωπικού, η ποικιλία του καταλόγου, η εξαιρετική ποιότητα των εδεσμάτων, ο εσωτερικός και εξωτερικός διάκοσμος και η υπέροχη ατμοσφαιρική μουσική υπόκρουση συνετέλεσαν σε αυτή τη μοναδική εμπειρία.

Πολλά συγχαρητήρια για αυτή την εξαιρετική δουλειά. Μακάρι να ανοίξει ένα δεύτερο Kariatis και στην Αθήνα.

Καλό χειμώνα.

My trip to Chania in 2001 was the first time I have visited Greece or any of her islands.  Of my 14 nights there, I think I must have eaten at Kariatis 4 or 5 times.  When I land in Chania again this August, I know were I'll be eating on my first night!

It is really difficult to describe the Kariatis restaurant without going through the A-Z of superlatives.The food is wonderful, the staff are excellent, and the atmosphere is so magical that no description of mine will ever do it justice. Worth a flight to Chania any day! Jane Richards

One of Chania's finest, with a warm atmosphere and an exceedingly pleasant staff. After enjoying Kariatis for over 6 months, I miss this superb restaurant.--Jim
