ALTERNA CANTEENA in Chania is celebrated for its high-quality Greek street food, boasting a near-perfect rating from nearly 2,000 reviews. Customers frequently highlight the smoky flavor of the pork gyros and the delicious beef kebabs, which are often served with fresh pita and tasty sauces. The service is generally described as fast and friendly, making it an ideal spot for a quick and affordable meal. However, one reviewer noted a negative experience involving a chewy beef steak sandwich and a service lapse regarding dietary preferences. Despite this, many visitors return multiple times, praising the fair prices and consistent quality of the made-to-order food. It is worth noting that the shop can sell out of certain products, so arriving earlier is advised.
