I have to be honest here that those are very personal recommendations, because you can and will find delicious food in every single island. Leros tops this list, because my main takeaway from this island was the food. If you want specifics I’ll give you two names: Milos and Esperides restaurants.

Crete is second on my list because thanks to my husband who is from Crete I’ve had the opportunity to delve deeper in the Cretan cuisine. I even eat snails (when I don’t eat feta) for example. But as a contemporary being, I like Cretan cuisine with a twist, so that’s why Parasties in Heraklion and Avli in Rethymno are on top of my list!

As for Naxos, oh where do I begin! Maro’s tavern in the city of Naxos Island (Ioannou Paparigopoulou street) is a nice place for dinner, as well as Typographio near the castle.
And since you’re in Naxos, you must not miss Waffle house both in the city center and in Plaka beach. Here you’ll find delicious ice cream in unique flavors. You can have it on a waffle or in a bowl (I propose the waffle) !!
