Total tangent, but iirc, the lonely planet recommends driving past Malia without stopping... because of the "sunburnt british teens on quads" problem you mention.
I'll make an admission, and hopefully my HN anonymity holds... I stopped for baked beans, chips and a pint. I don't really know why I did it, and I'm sorry.
- raxxorrax 5y agoHeh, to be honest we stopped there too. Our first time English breakfast was in Greece. I thought it funny that so many restaurants in the city had it on the menu. Felt a bit bad for ignoring the local cuisine, but it was quite tasty.
- dalbasal 5y agoSugar, pork fat and white bread... It's cheating, but it works. Side note. Backwater (or back alley) tavernas in Crete are amazing. I could spend half my life in them. The "eat where locals eat" applies, but keep in mind that locals don't eat until late. Being empty at 7pm is actually a good sign. Any place that serves stuffed zucchini flowers or goat in yogurt is a good bet. Beware the raki. Just because it's free, doesn't mean you should finish the bottle.
