Knossos, griech. Restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant in Giessen, Germany
Knossos is a Greek restaurant in Giessen located along the Lahn River, serving traditional seafood and Mediterranean dishes. The venue offers seating both indoors and on terraces with river views.
The restaurant opened in 1995 and was long run by a family dedicated to preserving Greek cooking traditions. A move in 2021 brought it to a modern building with larger outdoor spaces.
The restaurant brings Greek dining traditions to Giessen, with dishes that reflect coastal and southern customs. Visitors experience the relaxed way Mediterranean regions approach meals and hospitality.
The restaurant sits directly on the river and is easily reached from the old town, with ample parking nearby. The terrace areas are especially inviting in good weather, but cozy indoor spaces work well for cooler days.
A striking wooden fish skeleton hangs on the wall, sourced from an earlier era of Greek fishing traditions. This piece connects Mediterranean cooking to the handcrafted heritage and gives the space an authentic feel.
