A family room in the old town devoted to the cuisine of Crete's grand houses, with antikristo lamb slow-cooked over open flame, hearty stews and grilled meats. Warm, year-round and built on local ingredients and time-tested recipes rather than trends. A dependable authentic alternative steps from Peskesi.
