| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 A decades-old fish ouzeri whose name means seahorse, beloved by Heraklion locals for fresh, fairly priced seafood, grilled octopus, the day's catch, seafood risotto, served with ouzo at simple tables on the seawall. Returning visitors literally ask each spring whether the Sea Horse has reopened; this is a genuine institution, not a soliciting harbour taverna.
