Traditional Tavern Bobolis: A Flavorful Stop in Palaia Roumata

Palaia Roumata, a charming village in the municipality of Platanias, is cherished by its residents, who lovingly care for it and organize activities to attract visitors.

One of the village’s highlights is the traditional Bobolis Tavern, which opens its doors at 9 AM, inviting you to start your day with a fragrant cup of coffee.

For a main dish, we recommend the griddle-cooked kalitsounia with wild greens and mizithra cheese or plain mizithra—a delight for any palate. The meats served, except for pork, come from local farmers, and the tavern sources milk, cheeses, and vegetables from nearby producers. Don’t miss the roast lamb with potatoes—a dish that’s truly irresistible!

While in the village, visit the Folklore Museum and an intriguing permanent photography exhibition.

Notable attractions in the area include the Vavouledo Gorge and the Hidden School of Ai Giorgis—perfect for exploring Crete's history and natural beauty.
