Akrogiali Taverna in Zakros, Crete
Akrogiali—this name is indeed right for this tavern that stands only 5 meters from the beach. It is the oldest tavern in the region of Kato Zakros, a building that was built in 1898 and had the name Maria. They give big importance to quality in Cretan gastronomy and to all the materials that they use, taking into consideration always the local production and chastity. The oil is from the olive trees of Nikos, and the vegetables are from the farmers of the region, as well as the meat from the cattle breeders of the region. As for the fresh fish, it is daily provided by the captains Manolis, Giorgos, and Kostas, who give it to us straight from their caiques. Here, next to the sea, you will find us ready to serve you from early in the morning to enjoy your breakfast or coffee, and as the day rolls on, we serve you refreshments or fresh juice, and for the older people, a cold beer or ouzo with chosen mezedes.
