Of course the list of the best traditional taverns can never be perfect. In this page Minoa.info is going to collect only taverns that are concentrated in traditional Cretan food and food making, using only high quality produce.

The tavern Zacharias (Falassarna)

Beside the road that runs to Falassarna is located the tavern Zacharias, where all the food is made from the raw-materials that come out from their own garden and farm. Peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, olives, olive oil etc. are all organically grown. Now also their red and white wines that are also used in food making are organic and from these raw-materials the food is made based on the recipes that have been developed during generations.
Especially the vegetarian foods are extremely delicious. Tavern is located beside the road that runs to Falassarna.
