PARASTIES RESTAURANT

Restaurant "Parasties" was built in 1900 as a house with a classic modern design and a big history behind it. We have been opening our doors to foodies in an intimate and beloved place since 1999. The word Parasties means the traditional way of cooking in Crete before many years, a fire was between two parallel rectangular stones and a cooking pan was put above.
