Chania food scene. What to eat and what it costs.
Dakos: £4. Fresh calamari: £8. Full mezedes spread for two: £28. Best taverna in the old town (locals' choice): £14 per head.
Cretan food is distinct from mainland Greek food and significantly better. The olive oil is extraordinary.
The cheese (graviera, mizithra, anthotyros) is unlike anything you'll find outside Crete. Spend your food budget here on the local ingredients, not on the waterfront tourist menus.
