Agioklima: Homemade traditional cuisine by Mrs. Dimitra in Platanias

Heading up the road to Platanias in Chania, away from the bustling tourist center, you’ll come across the taverna Agioklima.

Here, you’ll savor homemade traditional food prepared by the hands of Mrs. Dimitra and experience the unpretentious Cretan hospitality.

The taverna’s space is warm and inviting, adorned with plants and flowers, while a wood-fired oven takes pride of place in one corner. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by soft background music.

This family-run establishment prides itself on using high-quality ingredients to create its dishes. Don’t miss the kleftiko, the dolmadakia, or the zucchini blossoms (depending on the season), as well as the stuffed burger.

Portions are generous, and the service is friendly and quick. For the little ones, there’s even a kids’ menu. To top it all off, you’ll be treated to chocolate pie with ice cream on the house!
