Best Cretan Family restaurant in the whole area. Family run up a mountain with fantastic views and food. Great friendly service. One not to be missed and highly recommended. We come back every year at least twice!

Visited as 2 families (4 adults and 3 Kids) Tucked away in the mountain side village is this little hidden gem of a family run restaurant. Selling locally sourced , traditional Cretan cooked dishes which tasted delicious, They also served a wonderful Rose wine and...the local brew Charma . Very welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough. Would thoroughly recommend and would return in a heartbeat . Do yourself a favour , if you are on the Kolymbari area, take a trip up the hill , seek out this beautiful restaurant... you will not be disappointed.More

My boyfriend and I decided to have dinner at Tis Litsas Ta Kamomata after a beach day and no better choice could’ve been made! The food is fresh and typical. Portions are big and prices are great! You can have dinner in the terrace while...enjoying a stunning sunset on the sea! Everyone is mind to you! Highly suggested if you are in Afrata!More

The best place to go for real home cooked traditional Cretan food, wine and hospitality. Very reasonable prices and a great location. A real gem.

. . . Well, maybe not, but it seems like it. Look down towards the sea and up to the mountains, and you are somewhere in between. Hawks and buzzards circle on the thermals above the cliffs at eye level, with a backdrop of white...flecked waves on the misty blue horizon, sheep graze between the rocks on the headland, and the White Mountains play with your senses of what is real, and what is illusion. Afrata is well off the tourist track, and Tis Litsas Ta Kamomata is about as ideal a spot you could imagine. Serving a selection of traditional Greek and Cretan Cuisine and of course local wine, you really can't go wrong.More

Having been to Litsa’s for many years, we couldn’t wait to bring our “1st time to Greece” American friends! We had a fantastic day exploring Kolymbari, Gonias Monastery, Afrata Beach and the Rodopou Peninsula, but the “reward” at the end was a fantastic feast at...Tis Litsas Ta Kamomata in the village of Afrata. We knew that our friends would be astounded by the variety and quality of Litsa’s homemade traditional Cretan cuisine with only her perfect embellishments, and by the greeting given by this family owned and operated village taverna.....the true definition of «φιλότιμο».....Greek hospitality. We ordered everything in sight and enjoyed every dish. You can order both meat and vegetarian meals here: briam, horta and cheese pies, pork with prunes, sautéed peppers with spicy cheese, beans & herring, stuffed vegetables, chicken, lamb, rabbit, boureki, salad; even the bread comes with the finest olive oil, Greek herbs and sea salt! Everything is locally sourced and prepared in-house by Litsa herself. Local, organic Cretan beer is also available on tap, and we enjoyed the house wine as well! My friends kept asking me why I was “treating” them to such a grand meal...well hospitality of course...but my “secret” was that for such fine and fresh food, the price for four people was exceedingly reasonable! The taverna is perched on a hill with lovely views and fresh breezes. The place is absolutely impeccable and creatively decorated which gives the taverna a warm welcoming atmosphere. During the off-season Litsa creates beautiful pieces of jewelry and other homemade/ homegrown items that are available in her gift shop. Whether you’re a first time customer or a regular......a wonderful experience awaits! Thank you Litsa for giving our friends such a great meal and Creta welcome!More

We stopped here for coffee while touring by car. Very quiet but lovely view from the outside patio. The coffee was excellent - me iced coffee and my wife cappuccino. Inside the taverna it is really old fashioned with some local produce for sale. Very...enjoyable visitMore
