Fantastic variety of food. A mixture of traditional Cretan cuisine peppered with Italiano/Germanic flavours. A very good vegan selection too.

We visited Amalthea restaurant for dinner every night during our 1 week holiday in Plakias. The variety as well as quality of the food in the buffet is great! The Cretan and Greek cuisine dishes are super tasty, well-cooked, nicely and neatly presented! Kids' corner contains special dishes every day.
Special credit to the personnel for the great service, politeness and assistance in anything we needed.
All in all, we enjoyed every single evening we had at Amalthea restaurant and we definitely recommend it!

Really lovely buffet food and super nice service make this a great hotel to look forward for every meal here. We were in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner for 8 days and it was hard to find anything that didn't taste great. They also have a big variety of different choices and most choices change from a day to day basis.
