Cuisine of Istron Bay: Another reason for the Hotel to be proud is the cuisine; Istron Bay is synonymous with traditional Cretan and Mediterranean Cuisine. The national campaign for the implementation of traditional cuisine was decided and partly run in the Hotel. Today, the Hotel is a pioneer in implementing the traditional and creating contemporary Greek cuisine. Cretan traditional cuisine is the main alternative in the half board meals. You may also experience Mediterranean tastes in the Beach Restaurants Votsala & Meltemi and the Pool Bistro Finikas.
