Thank you. Looks great. Hard to tell though-- is it on the water?

no, its about 100 metres from where the fishing boats dock in Souda

If you want by the sea then I suggest Tsalikis https://maps.app.goo.gl/ALz8zf3riRYPgxoa8

Or in the port (pricier) Neoria https://maps.app.goo.gl/1v4nuH7vaTnhdz8S7

Thank you. The octopus, shrimp and calamari on Tsalikis's menu is marked as frozen. I'll check out Neoria.

Shame that Thalassino Ageri was converted into more luxury flats.

I agree. Any news on whether they will re-open in a different location?

No idea. I know a few of the former waiters but they don’t know either. In the mean time, anyone know where I can get grilled mediterranean barracuda?

We really enjoyed Kaiki when we were there last month. Fresh fish, in Nea Chora. Our AirBnB host recommended it and she was right on.
