Pallas

About

Pallas is a historic Venetian‑harbor restaurant tucked into an 1830‑year‑old building that once housed Ali Pasha and a customs house. Offering a mix of modern Mediterranean, European, and Japanese cuisine, the venue boasts three distinct spaces: a seafront terrace overlooking the lighthouse, an intimate indoor first‑floor cocktail bar with panoramic harbour views, and a rooftop dining terrace—Thealassa—open from April to October for dinner and sunset spectacles. With an expansive selection of over 500 wines and a celebrated open kitchen, Pallas delivers a culinary journey that balances traditional Cretan flavors with international flair, making it a haven for wine lovers, families, and couples alike. The menu runs 24 hours from 8:00 am, featuring breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, sushi, and a raw bar. Prices start as low as €3 for freshly baked sourdough and rise to €90 for premium steak cuts, ensuring a range of dining options within a timeless, architectural setting that elicits both romance and family fun. From its long‑standing heritage to the breathtaking Venetian harbour vistas and award‑winning wine collection, Pallas seamlessly blends history with contemporary gastronomy.
