Back to newsA British chef based in England has shared her personal recommendations for dishes and dining spots in the Lasithi region of eastern Crete. Lasithi, known for its fertile plateau and traditional villages, offers visitors an authentic taste of Cretan cuisine away from the busier resort areas. The chef's picks highlight local establishments serving regional specialties, making this a useful guide for food-focused travelers exploring the eastern part of the island. Tourists visiting Lasithi can use these recommendations to seek out genuine local restaurants rather than tourist-oriented venues. The area is accessible from Heraklion by car in roughly 1.5 hours and combines culinary interest with visits to sites such as the Dikteon Cave, traditionally associated with the birthplace of Zeus.
