“ Very good food but everything else could be better. Lucky, they know this and say clearly in the advertisement from the restaurant. But you can try once and you will leave happy if not coming with too much expectations. ”
“ A very nice restaurant slightly off the main road, so quieter and more pleasant to sit outside. The food is very good and the staff are very welcoming. Definitely worth visiting, we ate there several times. ”
“ We came across Nostos by chance and liked it straight away. The first evening was very nice with delicious food and great service. On the last day of our vacation, we deliberately chose Nostos. It was a great end to a great trip to Crete. Although it was crowded, the service was attentive, quick and once again responded to our wishes. Thank you very much for this great ending, we look forward to coming back again. ”
“ Very friendly, family restaurant in Agia Marina. Restaurant with good, local food with unbelievable prices and friendly staff. Green dinner for 2 costs 38 EUR and is impossible to eat (so many dishes). Great place for kids with a lot of attractions for them. ”
“ One of if not the best dinners on our trip! We came here on the first night each having something different and it was so good that we had to come back again! Staff were amazing and friendly, food was to die for and the atmosphere was stunning! When we came on the second night it was busy but the staff sorted us a table quickly and even moved us to a quieter one outside when the group next to us got too loud. Also the raki is probably the nicest and best I've ever had If you're looking for the best dinner in the area then this is it! Thank you guys for some great evenings! ”
“ Perfect spot for families. Our kids loved the green dinner platter—so big, even we couldn’t finish it! The staff brought colouring books, and the ambiance was relaxed. Great value at around €38 for two people. ”
“ Cozy restaurant with excellent service! Food sizes were big for the price and the food tasted delicious! The menu had lots of food to choose from and desserts were out of this world! Toilets were very clean. Although the restaurant is a bit off the mainroad I highly recommend Nostos for a evening of dining ”
