Have visited Mochos to see a traditional Creten village and taste authentic food. There is a nice square there where we found this nice place. Portions are huge, food is really tasty, personnel is so nice and thoughtful. Really liked the meat from the wooden...oven and a salad with figs. At the end we were treated with wonderful Greek yogurt desert and Raki :) Saw a lot of tables with kids, since they have a good children menu. Would recommend Lithos to everyoneMore

Excellent tavern with authentic Greek food. The owner is very hospitable and friendly. Dishes are cooked in the oven and very tasty. Even the bread here is homemade. You can also buy olive oil from Nikos from his own grove. Highly recommend. During our trip...to Crete we visited this restaurant several times and always left very satisfied.More

We stopped here mid tour and the service, food quality and variety was impeccable! It’s within a quaint little Village and we probably had the best meal of our entire holiday here! Very child friendly too!

We were on our way east & decided to take a small detour to Mohos. We’re so glad we did because we discovered Lithos for lunch! The owner greeted us with a warm welcome & told us his beautiful story of how his restaurant came...to be. Our food was delicious but his homemade olive oil is a must try! He has a shop, so if you’re able to, buy a bottle of his olive oil because you won’t regret it :)More

Visited here after day in the mountains. Blonde long haired waitress pleasant but not overly friendly. We ordered four starters to share, bread and a couple of beers. Food was good quality, served quickly and tasted good. We were given complimentary chocolate cake too. Much...appreciated. My only pointers would be - it was mid Oct and chilly in the evening - can we have some blankets on the chairs outside. Also the toilets were clean but untidy with paper all over the floor. Lovely overall and we would return.More

The food is spectacular, they have great outdoor seating, and the staff are absolutely lovely. Our guide in Crete, Eddie, brought us to Lithos for lunch and we couldn't be happier. Our waiter (unfortunately I can't remember his name) was so good natured and had...a great sense of humor. He and Eddie both gave us recommendations on what to order, and he also explained how to eat certain dishes. Make sure to order their saganaki! It was the best we had in Greece. At the end of our meal, we also met the owner, who was very pleasant. He showed us photos of the restaurant back in the day and we enjoyed chatting with him for a bit before leaving. Hope to be back someday!More

We visited here during our holiday. THE best place we ate in Crete. We have never come across somebody who is so passionate about what they do. Absolutely delicious food and such lovely people. We are going again tonight for the Greek night and even...though it’s our last night in Crete, it’s the one we’ve been looking forward to the most, and know it will deserve another 5* review Couldn’t recommend this place enough, just perfect!More

The best part of our visit to Crete is to have lunch in Lithos and to meet the great atmosphere with Nicos and his family members and everybody working in Lithos. Nicos met us as old friends when we came back after three years and...we shared our news and Nicos experiences and he introduced his son and daughter now running the Taverna together with him. This was an experience of friendship and off course the food is the best, own produced olive oil, home made bread, wood owen made meet, fresh creek salad, all is the experience, even Mythos is available as a draught beer there. Great lunch. Nice tables at the shadow at the plaza. All is super and we always come back to Nicos, his family and Lithos.More

What a gorgeous little find. Staying in Analipsi and decided to travel across the mountains by quad. We were advised to stop in a little village called mochos square and we are so glad we did. This tavern is a family run business that could...not do enough for you! So friendly and attentive with gorgeous food and drinks to accompany it. A perfect location on the centre square. Thank you to George for making us feel welcome.More
