Pasiphae Restaurant

Beautiful food, amazing location and friendly staff. We stopped by for a quick breakfast and were really impressed by the quality of food here.

Free shady parking!! We parked there and walked 4 minutes to the Knossos Palace. After spending an hour in the brutal hot sun at the palace, we came back up to the restaurant and had some juice and smoothies. So refreshing and fresh.

Thank you very much Pasiphae restaurant 😊 we enjoyed the food. Very delicious and fresh. Close to Knosos palace, with a very well organized parking area, which is free. Highly recommend after excursion in the Palace enter here for a could beer 🍺 👏

I had a delightful experience at this beautiful restaurant near the Knossos Palace. The staff were incredibly friendly and made an effort to speak Italian with me, which I greatly appreciated.

The service was prompt, and the food was outstanding.The ambiance is inviting, with plenty of olive trees enhancing the charm of the surroundings.

Portions are generous, with each serving ample enough for two people. For a meal and two coffees, I paid just 37€ (the were 2 of us), which I find very reasonable compared with the Italian avarage prices.

This is definitely a place I would return to.

Great restaurant next to Knossos palace. Great food (we took calamari, sea bream, cretan salad and ceasar salad) and very nice service and climate. Of course playground for the kids!

Perfect place to park for Knossos and follow it up with some lovely food and drinks.

There is parking available under the shade of trees which is handy and Konosos is only 150m or so down the road.
There are other places to park closer but very few have any shade to park under.

The parking is part of a restaurant and after you can grab a drink and some food (which is well needed after a hot walk around!)
The food and drink was all reasonably priced and very nice.
You are not forced to go to the restaurant or made to feel bad if you don't.

They have nice and clean toilets as well.

Staff were all friendly. Overall a good experience!

Just a fantastic experience overall. Lovely quiet and quaint atmosphere paired with authentic homegrown ingredients from their garden. Wish we had 4 stomachs to keep eating more. If you’re already up here visiting Knossos, don’t bother with the food across the street. Walk 2 minutes back toward Heraklion to eat here. It’s 100% worth it.
