How this place fits into a Crete day
Kritamon is for travellers who do not want to simply “find somewhere to eat” in Chania Old Town. Cretan roots, seasonal influences and a clear wine focus give the meal a character of its own. Give it time — fast refuelling fits about as well here as a rental car in the pedestrian lane.

More about this place
Kritamon sits in the heart of Chania Old Town and makes most sense when food is meant to be more than the pause between two sights. Its own presentation combines Cretan roots with seasonal and Mediterranean influences, while wine is explicitly part of the concept rather than an afterthought on the drinks list.
For an Old Town day, that works especially well when you actually want to give the meal time. At roughly 75 to 120 minutes, Kritamon is more deliberate sit-down experience than “eat quickly and move on”. Occasionally, the plate is allowed to be the programme. Chania's lanes will cope.
The pedestrian-lane setting is part of the atmosphere and part of the logistics: drive only to a legally reachable edge of the historic core and walk the final minutes. Do not plan on parking at the restaurant door.
Kritamon suits travellers who want to bring Cretan cooking, seasonal influences and wine into the same meal. If the only goal is to get fed quickly, there are more practical choices. If the meal is allowed to become part of the evening or city visit, the slower pace is exactly the point.
