Iliomanolis: Just Like grandma used to make!

If you make your way through the Kotsifou Gorge, you’ll find the taverna “Iliomanolis” nestled in the small village of Kanevos.

At this charming spot, you’ll step right into the kitchen and choose whatever meal tempts you most. The food is homely and mouth-wateringly delicious, just like the dishes you remember from grandma’s kitchen.

The family who runs the taverna proudly preserves the tradition of authentic Cretan cooking, greeting you with the warm hospitality Crete is famous for. Every dish bursts with flavor, crafted with love, care, and the pure ingredients of the Cretan land. The selection of hearty, home-cooked meals is extensive and offered at prices you probably haven’t seen in ages!

The taverna is well-kept and spotless, adorned with charming potted plants and surrounded by the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains.

When you visit Iliomanolis, don’t miss out on the stewed chicken in tomato sauce, the flavorful soutzoukakia, and the tender lamb!
