The secret to our gastronomic creations is nothing more that the goodness of Cretan soil and the passion that drives us to bringing you indelible moments, that you can taste.
The superior quality of our food is achieved through selecting quality resources, and executing recipes with keen fervour and with respect to tradition. Our elite chefs prepare the pure ingredients with care, diligence, passion and with reverence to the gastronomical secrets that have been handed down from one generation to the next.
For our quality resources, we rely on locally produced, premium and fresh ingredients that form the base of Galaxy Hotel’s gastronomy, and it is this quality that shines through the flavours: First and foremost, the legendary Cretan olive oil, is the backbone of our cuisine. Extra virgin and organically produced by us for generations in our own farms in the village of Dafnes, in the hills outside Heraklion, it boasts a refined, full-bodied flavour and has exceptional nutritional value.
Secondly, our wine selections are exemplar of the finest wines found on the island of Crete, including some from small and select local wineries procured for you to indulge in.
Moreover, we select our fresh ingredients on a daily basis, from local producers ensuring guests taste every ingredient in prime condition. Fruits and vegetables as well as fresh greens that take up a large part of the Mediterranean diet, freshly caught fish, and tender meats infused with aromatic herbs that give off the true scent of Crete: rosemary, basil, thyme and oregano.
Finally, local soft drinks, traditional orgeat (almond syrup) as well as wild cherry juice, traditional sweets and local thyme honey all bring some Cretan sweetness to your plate or glass.
At Galaxy Hotel, you’ll taste a bit of Cretan heaven every time you dine.
