Step into Giritli Restaurant and find a hidden courtyard behind its historic wooden facade. Share Cretan appetizers and fresh seafood in an elegant, candle-soft setting made for a slow lunch or romantic dinner.

📖

Full description

Giritli occupies a historic wooden building and serves Cretan cuisine, which sets it apart from the city's usual Turkish menus. Reviewers describe walking in from the street and finding an unexpectedly cosy inner courtyard, alongside quieter white-tablecloth dining rooms where conversation carries easily.

The appetizer selection is wide and the seafood draws repeated praise, and service is called friendly and attentive. With expensive pricing, a 4.2 rating and a typical stay of about 75 minutes, it suits a leisurely lunch or an unhurried evening for two rather than a quick bite.

Reviews

Very friendly service and delicious food. This place has earned its star for a reason. Perfectly balanced flavors, a wide variety of appetizers, and amazing seafood. The staff were helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a charming garden area. We will definitely come back here.
