Dialiskari: Wood-Fired Lamb at Marmara Beach!

Marmara is one of Crete’s most breathtaking beaches, accessible only by boat or a hike. Nestled here is the taverna Dialiskari, perfectly blending into the stunning natural surroundings.

Make sure to try the tsigariasto lamb or goat—depending on the season—prepared by the hands of Mr. Chrysostomos Orfanoudakis, who first introduced this dish to the menu. A must-try is the lemony lamb with potatoes baked in the wood-fired oven, along with dishes like crustless bourekia and oven-baked briam with golden roasted potatoes.

Enjoying this flavorful cuisine is best combined with refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters of Marmara Beach. Adventurous souls often reach the area after trekking through the dramatic Aradena Gorge.

The taverna also features a small pier nestled among the rocks, where boats and caiques from Loutro and Chora Sfakion dock daily.
