Rizinia: Delicious dishes after a scenic journey through nature

In the village of Zourva, you’ll discover Rizinia, a wonderful taverna surrounded by greenery, with views of the mountains and the sea.

At this taverna, you won’t just enjoy the food, but also the natural beauty of the journey to get there.

With traditional Cretan music and excellent service, you’ll savour this unique experience in nature with delicious flavours.

You can drive through the Theriso Gorge, and after a breathtaking route, it’s just a 5 km drive to reach the taverna.

In the summer, you can sit in the outdoor area, while in the winter, the warm indoor space with a fireplace and Cretan decor will captivate you.

From the hands of Mrs. Maria, you must try oven-baked pork with mizithra cheese and peppers, fennel pies (marathopites), tsigariasto (slow-cooked goat or lamb), staka (a rich, buttery dish), lamb roasted with potatoes, and wild stamnagathi greens.
