Century-old Smyrna-rooted bougatsa house on Lions Square
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 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.
Editor's Tip
Chania's oldest bougatsa shop (est. 1924)
