Taverna Stratis: For Sygklino, Head to Loutro!

Loutro is a magical place, accessible only by boat. Here, you’ll find Taverna Stratis, serving authentic Cretan flavors in a truly special setting.

We highly recommend the sygklino (smoked pork), as well as the païdakia (lamb chops) and roast lamb—all top-quality, farm-to-table meats from their own production.

Don’t leave without trying Pantelitsa’s famous kalitsounia with wild greens and herbs—you’ll thank us later! There are also delicious wood-fired oven dishes to explore.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the view? Simply breathtaking, overlooking one of the most stunning beaches in southern Crete.

The best time to visit? Just before sunset, so you can take in the magical colors as the day fades away!
