Bougatsa Iordanis
Chania's oldest bougatsa shop, fourth-generation, since 1924
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Standing at Apokoronou 24 since 1924 and now run by the fourth generation, Iordanis is a living institution that makes just two things impeccably: savoury bougatsa with Cretan myzithra and a sweet custard version, both on impossibly thin phyllo pulled fresh daily. No frills, no menu sprawl, a century of one recipe. The benchmark Cretan breakfast.
