Porto Kanaki
About
Porto Kanaki is a charming seaside tavern nestled in the tranquil fishing village of Pachia Ammos on Eastern Crete. Set along the road between Agios Nikolaos and Ierapetra, the restaurant offers a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere where guests can enjoy freshly caught fish, traditional Greek dishes and a selection of local wines or cocktails. The patio enjoys panoramic views of the clear Aegean waters, and the staff—particularly the owner and chef, Lady Natasha—provides friendly service in a warm, welcoming setting. In addition to its hearty menu, Porto Kanaki features eight modest apartments that can accommodate guests for a quiet stay in the quiet coastal town. Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely brunch, a sunset dinner or a weekend break near the beach, this destination delivers fresh flavors and authentic Crete‑style hospitality.
