Arodamos Stone Grove: A Taste of Nostalgia in Dafnes!
ABOUT
Dafnes is a small village just a few minutes from Heraklion, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The area is also home to several wineries worth visiting.
A stop at Arodamos Stone Grove is a must for those who appreciate authentic Cretan recipes with a gourmet touch.
Sit outside, where stone dominates the scenery, or choose a cozy indoor table—perhaps near the fireplace.
Try Xinohondros with apaki and graviera cream, braised veal cheeks with smoky eggplant purée, wood-fired specialties—crispy on the outside, meltingly tender inside! Try the pork knuckle, a true highlight.
Pair your meal with a fine local wine or rakomelo, if you prefer something stronger.
To end on a sweet note, enjoy the complimentary house desserts—or, if you’re craving something extra, order kunefe: a kataifi pastry stuffed with Cretan myzithra cheese, drizzled with syrup right in front of you!
