Taverna Rembetiko

Hania Province


On the road to Hania, this popular taverna serving mezedhes (small dishes) is a great place for a quick, well-priced snack or meal. The friendly owners offer an extensive menu of Cretan dishes, such as bourekia (filo pies shaped into long, thin rolls, batons or pinwheels) and stuffed zucchini flowers. Good vegetarian options, too.
