Television history meets the day boat
Ferryman runs along Elounda's shore in the taverna used for the 1970s series Who Pays the Ferryman? Chef Yiannis Baxevanis shaped a more precise Cretan menu here, pairing grilled fish and local greens with jetty tables that sit inches from the bay.
Reserve the jetty and ask which fish arrived whole that morning, including its weight and charge. Sunset tables disappear first, wind can push diners indoors and the kitchen deserves a paced order; take cold starters before committing to the catch.
What visitors say
Ferryman carries a long, strongly rated Tripadvisor record with current June 2026 reports praising grilled fish and personal service; repeat diners stress that waterside tables require advance booking.
