Ligres Taverna: Seafood with a View of the Namesake Beach

South Rethymno is a serene retreat, famous for its stunning beaches and tavernas serving fresh fish and seafood. Among these treasures, you’ll find Ligres Taverna, nestled on Ligres Beach, accompanied by a small guesthouse.

The taverna serves hearty, homemade food and traditional Cretan dishes like stuffed vegetables (gemista). Don’t miss the seafood and fish, freshly caught by the family’s own fishing boat. Every dish is prepared using seasonal vegetables, fruits, and olive oil from their own production, ensuring a meal that’s as fresh as it gets.

The beach stretches right in front of the taverna, but the area has even more to explore. Nearby, you’ll discover the iconic Triopetra, Agios Pavlos, and the famous Preveli Beach with its palm forest.

For a touch of history and charm, take a stroll through Kerame, a preserved traditional village in the region.
