Bakalogatos
Μπακαλόγατος
A family meze spot on Mavrokordatou Street in the old town, open late, known for its snails and meze platters.
Bakalogatos is at 15 Mavrokordatou Street in the old town. It's a family-run meze spot with outdoor seating on a cobbled lane, open until late and good for a drink after dinner. The menu comes with a pen: tick the small plates you want on the paper. Diners recommend Cretan fried snails, fried squid, Greek salad and moussaka, and dessert includes fried dough balls. A local guidebook lists it among the best creative meze spots, and it has a 4.6 rating on Google. Expect about €15–25 per person. Don't confuse it with Othonas on the same street.
