Kalypso: The best moussaka in Kissamos

Coming back hungry from Elafonisi? A visit to Kaloudiana is a must to try Mama Maria’s homemade moussaka at Taverna Kalypso.

This is the epitome of a Greek taverna—everything is straightforward and flavorful. While Mama Maria’s home-cooked dishes steal the spotlight, the grill master has a loyal following of his own, thanks to his exceptional skills.

The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to serve you with a warm smile, embodying the essence of Cretan hospitality.

Prices are great, and the dishes are both mouthwatering and generously portioned. Be sure to try the outstanding souvlaki, warm thrakopsomo (charcoal bread), and the dreamy mix grill platter. Pair them with a refreshing, bountiful salad for the perfect meal.

The taverna has an outdoor area with a relaxed vibe and minimalist décor. At the end of your meal, you’ll be treated to a sweet dessert and a shot of tsikoudia.
