Εστιατόριο Ξυλόσκαλο

For anyone saying the food is expensive—you’re completely out of touch. The quality and flavors are worth every cent! Our service was quick, and our server was so kind. The lamb, potatoes, Cretan salad, and moussaka were some of the best dishes we had on our entire trip—everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The cozy fireplace made our rainy day feel warm and peaceful, and the atmosphere is every bit as beautiful as the photos show. A truly memorable dining experience!

The pictures alone cannot express how breathtaking the views from the restaurant terrace are... I find it hard to write this review, but you have to visit and see for yourselves. If you can - sit next to the pine tree in the corner, enjoy the shade and have a peek at the old roots wrapping around the rocks. Other than that the food was actually delicious, something I didn't expect from (what I assumed is) a tourist hotspot. I had stuffed vegetables and some of the local cheese with butter.

Food is okay, place is more a pitstop to enjoy to breathtaking views

20/10 for the view. 4/5 for the taste of the food. 5/5 food presentation.

Don't waste your time reading this review! JUST GO AND EXPERIENCE THIS AMAZING PLACE! The views are amazing and the food is equally as good. I am afraid of heights, but I felt secure the whole time and was in awe of the beauty this restaurant provides! Our group ordered a wide variety of food and everyone enjoyed their meals. The prices are fair (especially for the ambience) and the portions are large. If you do not feel like sitting outside, there are seats inside, away from the edges. Additionally, there are more seats on the outside deck that are a little further up the side of the restaurant. We did have one person with a handicap, but they were able to walk the stairs up into the restaurant. But please keep in mind that there is no elevator. There is a Cafe prior to reaching the restaurant while driving that is handicap accessible. But we did not stop there. There is no parking lot for the restaurant and you will need to park on the side of the road. There was only one person servicing the customers and making drinks and one person cooking when we visited. He was running to the other tables (5 other tables during our visit). However, their service was excellent and we did not feel forgotten.

Amazingly beautiful place and great restaurant with the stunning views 🤩 It's looks very traditional, the food was excellent, we tried many dishes, everything was the best! 👍

The view is amazing The food portion is huge, I recommend sharing the plates Service is very slow

Absolutely beautiful view. Stunning. Unfortunately we arrived just as a large group did so we did have to wait for a while for our food, but with such a view, it didn't matter. And the food was worth the wait. I had the local lamb cooking in olive oil and we also had the chicken souvlaki. Delicious! I'd highly recommend this place.
