"Ligo Krasi ligo thalassa": From the sea to your plate

Take a stroll through Heraklion’s Venetian harbour and explore the Koules Fortress, then visit the family-run taverna-ouzeri "Ligo Krasi... Ligo Thalassa..." for a delightful meal.

This taverna serves Mediterranean cuisine, offering daily fresh fish straight from the local fishing boats, as well as locally sourced meats. Most of the vegetables used come from their own organic garden, while the rest are carefully selected from local producers. Their recipes feature their own extra virgin olive oil, and the raki that accompanies the complimentary dessert is distilled on-site.

With its warm, wood-accented interior and a view of the sea, the taverna gives you the feeling of dining aboard a ship! Don’t miss the chance to try the fresh fish and their delicious fisherman’s pasta.

To finish, you'll be treated to a homemade watermelon spoon sweet and a chilled raki.
