Christo's taverna: Traditional dining with homegrown meats and vegetables!

Located in the village of Gallos, just 2 kilometers from Rethymno and near the University, Christo’s is a family-run taverna offering authentic cuisine. The warm family atmosphere, beautiful setting filled with flowers, and welcoming hospitality make for a unique gastronomic experience.

Here, you can savor local delicacies, appetizers, stews, grilled meats, and Cretan oven-baked dishes in a clean and homely environment. The kitchen uses homegrown products: olive oil, vegetables, meat, wine, and raki—all freshly prepared by hand in the traditional way.

The food is lovingly homemade by the owner, and portions are generous, so be careful not to over-order!

The owner's son ensures that guests are well taken care of at this charming spot, far from the touristy bustle of Rethymno’s center. Be sure to reserve a table in advance and don’t miss the lamb with potatoes—it's a must-try!
