This tavern is tucked away at the end of the Therisos Gorge in a cool woodland in the foothills of the White Mountains. This year it was the 1^st runner up for best tavern in Crete at the annual Gourmet Awards. Woven country-style tablecloths and lots of wooden beam add to the innate charm. This is REAL Cretan cuisine. There is no menu—you are told what was cooked that day. The unpretentious dishes could include Baked Goat with stamnagathi, wild hyacinth bulbs (delectably bitter and tender as butter) and the freshest of cheeses. The house wine, raki and olive oil are all their own. The wine is very acceptable and incredibly inexpensive.
