Symposium opened its doors in 1998, aiming and succeeding in providing an exclusive cuisine, the best service and a most relaxing atmosphere for our clientele.

The Ancient Symposium - Symposium Restaurant - Chania - Crete
The Ancient Symposium
Our name is based on the idea of the Ancient Greek SYMPOSIUM. The ideal SYMPOSIUM in Ancient Greece was almost like a ritual. Its aim was to savor the aesthetic pleasure of the wine, to be intoxicated just enough to relax and release the mind from inhibition, and to stimulate conversation. It was a social institution where great philosophers and great thinkers were having deep and meaningful conversations stimulating the mind.

Amazing food and service at reasonable prices
We cannot rate this restaurant more highly. Food was out of this world and would even say Michelin level at reasonable prices. Staff were fantastic especially Michael who looked after us as we worked are way through the menu on each visit. Thank you for making our stay special with such good food and service!... ++

Beautiful components 3-course meal
Fantastic food and beautiful plating we both ordered Bruschetta for starters, but the waiter recommended that we order different ones, and recommended tuna with avocado. Both tasted amazing. For main course we had lamb shank with mashed potatoes and beef tender loin, both dishes were in style for starters. Crème brûlée with ginger and chocolate soufflé made a perfect end to a lovely 3-course meal. Good wine and nice atmosphere dice roll 6 from us.... ++
