Absolutely loved this place. We just walked down the street and thought it looked really nice. The scenery is incredibly peaceful and beautiful. The food was amazing, we ordered salads, pasta and starters and the staff brought us free bread with dips and also added in free mocktails(we don’t drink) and dessert. Could not recommend more, the food, the place and the staff really are worth the stop

10 out of 10 experience at Amelia’s, would recommend!! We went for lunch & dinner and had great service and food each time. The staff was so friendly, we had my friend’s little baby with us and they were so accommodating! The food was served quickly, and was some of the most flavourful & fresh food I’ve had in a long time. While waiting we enjoyed our delicious fresh orange juice & had some bread and dips on the house. Make sure to book your table in time, especially on Thursday’s when they have a Greek themed evening with live music.

We had really good time at this restaurant today, everything was sooo delicious and everyone was so kind and friendly. If you come here, you will definitely leave full and happy. You also get different breads with appetizers before the meal, and then raki and dessert are offered by the house after the meal. Thank you for everything, we will definitely come here again! :)

Restaurant Review: A Delicious Find in Sissi, Crete If you're in Sissi and craving authentic Cretan food with generous portions, this local gem is a must-visit. The setting is cozy and welcoming, with a rustic charm that adds to the experience. The food is the real highlight—flavorful, hearty, and made with fresh local ingredients, and the portions are more than generous. You definitely won’t leave hungry! Service can be a bit chaotic when the place gets busy, with some delays, but the staff are friendly and do their best to keep up. Overall, it’s great value for money, and the quality of the food more than makes up for any small service hiccups. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Lovely restaurant just off the main harbour in Sisi. Family run and we got there about 745 without a reservation. Very busy. Lots of staff on which was good. Delicious food and complimentary bread starter and ice cream desert. The kelfitco and moussaka were delicious. Good atmosphere and lovely turquoise decor ! Thank you

Beautiful hidden gem on the beautiful island of Crete. Loved everythibg about this restaurant, from the beautiful setting and decor, the fresh and delicious food all the way to the nice and very helpful staff, an amazing experience all around! The portions were very egenrouss and I recommend the lamb, the grilled octopus, fried calamari and especially the spicy tzatziki sauce (off menue, you have to ask for it)! They also offered us a delicious orange cake at the end which on its own, is worth trying this amazing place!
