If you are looking for the authentic family run Cretan taverna on a beach this is it. We offer exceptional seclusion, lots of our own produce including organic milk, yoghurt, cheese, honey, fish, fruit, vegetables and olive oil as well as a very friendly welcome. Right on Likkos beach in a sheltered, car-free bay we are a 10 minute boat ride around the headland from Loutro. Our taverna provides an excellent base from which to explore the beatiful coast line and beaches and the walking trails along coast, in the famous Cretan gorges nearby and into the mountains behind. The local area is a haven for wildlife including rare birds and the spectacular Cretan flowers. We share Likos Bay with just one other taverna and the rest is just fields of sheep and goats, olive groves and wild flowers going down to the sea. We have 16 rooms with a variety of doubles, singles, twins, triples and one which has a double and two single beds ideal for a family. All of the rooms face the sea, have balconies and en suite shower with hot solar heated water and a loo. So you sleep to the sound of the lapping waves. Eight ...
