Where Flavors
Meet Harmony
Located just off the main lobby, Gaia is the heart of Almyra’s dining experience—welcoming guests throughout the day with generous buffet offerings and panoramic views of the pool, the sea, and the resort’s serene gardens.
The restaurant features both indoor seating and an open-air balcony, inviting you to dine in a calm, sunlit setting or under the glow of the Cretan sky.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served in rich variety, with every evening bringing a new themed culinary experience—from Mediterranean to Asian touches, comfort classics to family favorites. Every dish is prepared with care, using fresh, high-quality ingredients that celebrate seasonal flavors.
Gaia is also ideal for guests seeking balance and clarity in their meals: all dishes are labeled with macronutrients, calories, and allergen information, making it easy to enjoy food mindfully and with confidence.
Warm, welcoming, and well-orchestrated, Gaia isn’t just a restaurant—it’s where the rhythm of your stay begins and ends, every day.
