One of Galea's features is the beautiful terrace on the first floor, which offers a stunning view of the bay of Agia Pelagia.

The restaurant's menu is a real treat, with each dish carefully crafted to bring out the best of the ingredients. From the wreath salad, which includes pickled bulbs, tomatoes, pickled onions, vegetables and feta cheese, to the "bostani" (jalanzi zucchini flowers with oily kendan and 12-month cave-aged graviera from Mount Dikti in Lasithi, Crete), each dish is literally a work of art art. One of the standout dishes is the 'Tuna in Phyllo', which includes tuna wrapped in Biritou foil, nori, buerre blanc, fish roe, mashed potato with spring onion, mushroom, shimeji. Also try the 'Blue Crab Waffle', with blue crab from Elounda Crete, buttered waffle, creamy shellfish sauce, chorizo sausage. This dish has a lively and modern spirit that balances perfectly with the classic Cretan flavors. Also, the 'Ofto', with milk lamb braised in a wood-fired oven, served with a sauce from its juice, sour grass, maratha and morels, is a perfect example of the chef's ability to create innovative dishes that celebrate the traditional flavors of the region.
Desserts at Galea are also a highlight, with the Myzithra cheesecake with handmade myzithra being a favorite dish. This velvety dessert is a must for anyone visiting the restaurant, and it's worth visiting Galea for this dish alone. To start your meal, we recommend the octopus carpaccio, an elegant and tasty dish that perfectly highlights the quality and freshness of the ingredients. For a main course, the lobster linguine is a must, with juicy lobster meat paired perfectly with al dente pasta in a rich tomato sauce. For meat lovers, the grilled lamb chops are tender and juicy, accompanied by crispy roast potatoes. Don't forget to complement your meal with the excellent cocktails prepared for you by the restaurant's specialized cocktail expert. Choose from several options of your favorite cocktail, but also try new flavors suggested by the experts.
All in all, if you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience that combines a unique view, exquisite cuisine and impeccable service, then the FNL award-winning Galea Restaurant at Castello Infinity Suites is a must-visit destination.

This fancy restaurant is located on the cliff and has really wonderful view. The food was great, the service as well. Only one thing was not perfect, it was the music, in special places like this you expect music to be special as well, or at least being calm and nice, we didn’t expect to listen to the club hits there.
