Dining
Through a maze of culinary paths, Royal Mare Village leads you to microcosms of wondrous delights. Here, our experienced and knowledgeable chefs derive their inspiration from classical recipes and draw up a line of travel to the land of flavour that starts at the bougainvilleas in the cobbled yard, known as El Greco. In accordance with the dictates of authentic Cretan cuisine, anthotyro cheese, olive oil, wild greens and rosemary are indispensable ingredients; vine leaves are patiently and meticulously rolled up; rock fish is cooked over low fire; the quaint smell of smoked food is all around the fireplace; sweets are served with cool raki.
Moving on to the stylish, gourmet Candia Restaurant, we come across creations of Mediterranean gastronomy of the first magnitude, tempting guests to join in wondrous rituals where wine boosts sky-high the flavour of any dish. For those interested in combining thalassotherapy with a wholesome diet, the Spa Cuisine at Royal Mare creates well-designed menus made of entirely natural ingredients. During your journey to the flavours of the world, you can always gaze out at the huge expanse of the Cretan Sea from the veranda of the main restaurant, Symposio, indulging yourself in mouth-watering recipes. The delicacies on display at the lavish buffet, in their most imaginative versions and prepared with locally produced ingredients, provide suggestions for magnificent, novel taste experiences.
A stop at the cool seaside Albatros Restaurant early every afternoon is the climax of your culinary travels. The enormous variety of flavours will tempt every palate and fill your mind with unforgettable maritime experiences. Enjoy your travels and make the most of them!
