Our modern day SYMPOSIUM is situated in Platanias, a highly touristy area, minutes away from the main city of Hania. Platanias, becomes the home for European visitors for the best part of the summer. 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. Our customers are referred to us by word of mouth, which has proven to be the best form of advertisement for us.
What do we offer?
Initially, it is our friendly and warm atmosphere that strikes our customers. Symposium offers both an interior and an al fresco area where you can feel the, where you can feel the breeze of the beautiful Greek summer nights, while enjoying your dinner with the service of our friendly, bilingual staff. The best we have to offer though, is our cuisine. You can enjoy Mediterranean and European meals, alongside our traditional Cretan cuisine.

The Ancient Symposium - Symposium Restaurant
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.

"Fantastic food"
We went to Symposium this , our last evening, and ordered salmon and bars, it was very well cooked and a delicious meal. Thank you
"Outstanding contemporary restaurant"
Went with whole family one night and were so impressed we went back the next night as a couple.Every aspect was superb, food, wine and especially service. The lady Maitre d front of house was welcoming and oversaw her staff with total professionalism, getting stuck in herself when (rarely)needed. From helping choose the wine to advice how our chosen steaks should be cooked based on the cuts, the service was impeccable.The food was excellent - the figs in prosciutto with feta sauce were ridiculously good..Almost feel bad about not visiting other restaurants but why would you when it’s this good.
"Amazing food"
We ended up eating here twice during the week we stayed in Plantanias because the food was so good. If you have room for an appetizer they have the best garlic bread I ever tried.
