Worth the drive to take in the fantastic views. A good selection of fresh, home made food in Cretan Style, well presented and very good quality. Friendly service, made a lovely evening meal experience.

Visited this taverna on Tripadviser recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Absolutely amazing views down to the sea and fabulous sunset. The food is all home made and excellent. Would recommend it to anyone.

If you're staying on the coast anywhere east of Rethmynon, make a trip to this fantastic, family run taverna. I had read the reviews on TripAdvisor and decided it was worth a visit. The views were worth the journey alone. It is set outside the village of Maroullas (you have to pass through the village and then continue following signs... More

I was so glad I took heed of the good reviews, not the negative ones that said it was not worth the effort. This restaurant high up in the crete mountains is breathtaking, for us it was easy to find as our villa was just outside Maroulas village. I was a wonderful experience , great food at very resonable prices,... More

We were taken here by the family who run the apartments we were staying at so, fortunately, we did not encounter any problems finding the restaurant! The family who run the restaurant were so friendly and the food and the view were simply outstanding. To top it all when the bill arrived we could not believe how reasonable it was.... More

We really enjoyed this Taverna, once we eventually found it! A tip would be not to believe the short distance signs in the beautiful village of Maroulas which is worth stopping at; but to drive through (the v tight streets) and drive out, you will eventually come to much more believable signage and you will be able to see the...

Went there three times in one week. We all loved the food and the family could not have been nicer. Best Local food, fresh seafood and home grown vegetables in the area. The view is spectacular try to get there for the sunset.
