Taverna Robinson

Ierapetra


If your tummy starts rumbling while in Koutsouras, a seaside town about 25km east of Ierapetra, point the compass to this cheerful taverna in an attractively renovated Venetian-style building. The menu features both standard and innovative Cretan fare, all prepared with the owners' own olive oil and best paired with a glass of their organic wine.
