Taverna Aravanes: Wood-Fired Flavours in Thronos, Amari!

ABOUT

Just 7 km from the historic Arkadi Monastery and close to the Eleutherna Museum, the village of Thronos is a hidden gem in the Amari region. If you’re looking for authentic wood-fired cooking and stunning views over the Amari Valley, make your way to Taverna Aravanes.

The best spot? The veranda, where you can take in the sweeping scenery. But if the weather calls for something cozier, grab a seat by the fireplace.

Start with wild greens pies, paired with carefully selected local cheeses. Then, go for the slow-cooked meat with potatoes, roasted to perfection in the wood-fired oven. Every dish stays true to tradition but carries a touch of gourmet finesse.

For something truly special, try the pork with dried figs, chestnuts, and carob syrup—a dish so rich and flavourful, you’ll be licking your fingers.
