Crete slips down a side street
Kriton Gefsis leaves Aegina's harbour traffic for a pedestrian lane off Ireoti, setting indoor and outdoor tables around a Cretan menu. Split-pea fritters, cheese pies, vine leaves, calamari and pistachio ice cream sit beside daily fish and a broad Greek wine list.
Evening live music fills the lane and the kitchen can fall behind, with some diners reporting forty-minute waits and overcooked fish. Book outside, order cold starters first and choose a daily special after asking how busy the grill is; lunch stays calmer.
What visitors say
Kriton Gefsis rates 4.3 from more than 610 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a Travelers' Choice award; Cretan pies, fritters, wine and music draw support, though peak pacing divides diners.
