The Well of the Turk (Chania)

The Well of the Turk, in Greek To Pigadi tou Tourkou, features three interconnected rooms painted in ochre and blue, with strong oriental touches and a well in the middle room, as well as a beautifully carved fountain. Here you can taste the authentic flavours of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, including specialities from Greece, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Lebanon. Music from those countries will accompany your meal.

Dining

In the restaurants and traditional tavernas of the towns and villages of Crete, you'll find all the genuine flavours of traditional cuisine and an insistence on using local products. Mediterranean cuisine is inherently healthy and vegetarian-friendly, and everyone is bound to find something to suit their tastes. Apart from an abundance of olive oil, fish, and seafood, local specialities to try include cheese pie, fried snails, smoked pork and raki — an alcoholic beverage served after the meal.
