Crete - Eating
The Cretans are particularly fond of lamb and goat meat. The “Ofto lamb" and “Psito” are well known. Especially famous are the island’s dairy products—Kefalograviera, the semi-hard kefalotyri, Anthotyro and soft mizythra are all delicious and among the best Greek cheeses.
Loukoulos
For a special meal in a wonderful terrace garden or the antique interior dining area you should visit Loukoulos, which has the appearance of a period house. Loukoulos has interesting Mediterranean dishes with a Greek flavour and wonderful eye-appealing salads.
Paralia Fish Tavern, Ouzerie
