An interesting, strategically located all-day venue, with an excellent view, near the Venizelos Tombs. It offers a complete culinary experience for all times of the day, as well as excellent cocktails.
The observation is common and concerns the entertainment venues in large cities. Generally, these are the «favorite children» of the mass media. Without much effort, anyone can find opinions on Google about their culinary offerings, as well as detailed descriptions of the environment and atmosphere. The result of this reality is that visitors to a city can easily navigate the urban center or the tourist port area, depending on the city. However, they miss the opportunity to enjoy pleasant moments in venues outside the center, which add character to the city with interesting offerings, either due to their location or their menu.
One such case is Carte Postale, a place whose name says a lot. It is a prime example of this reality and boasts four great advantages: a civilized and comfortable environment, good food and quality cocktails, a panoramic view of the city from the height of Prophet Elias, and finally, its proximity to a monument important to Greeks, the Venizelos tombs.
Carte Postale is a particularly interesting space, which once housed the first cafe in the area. Of the four strengths that characterize it, the one that is not immediately apparent to the visitor is its culinary offering. And, as is known, this depends largely on the kitchen team and especially on the head chef.
In this specific case, the two big names in cuisine, Yiannis Koutsoperakis and Katerina Vlachou, have exceptionally rich experience, having worked in significant restaurants across Europe. In particular, Yiannis Koutsoperakis has also been awarded in Greece by well-known gastronomic awards institutions.
If one wonders what can be enjoyed by whoever chooses to sit back and relax at Carte Postale, the answer is simple: everything! Whether it's a morning walker looking for a quality and hearty brunch, or a visitor to the Venizelos graves who wants to rest while enjoying the view with a coffee, or someone who has chosen Carte Postale for a complete dining experience, the choices are many and cover every moment of the day.
The cherry on top is the exceptionally high-quality and original cocktail list, as well as a very good wine list with selected labels. If you live in Chania, it probably needs no introduction. But if you are a visitor, follow the route here and be sure you won't regret it.
