ABOUT

Nestled in the charming square of Lambini village in the Agios Vasileios municipality, Tzitzifes Café is a must-visit spot for those seeking authentic Cretan flavors and hospitality.

Here, you’ll savor local delicacies made with care and tradition. Try their handmade pies and cheese, crafted from the milk of the owners’ sheep. Mrs. Maria and her son, Kostas Kelaidis, welcome you with warmth and a smile, making you feel like a long-lost friend.

Don’t miss the stuffed vine leaves (dolmadakia), tender snails (chochlious), creamy tyrozouli, and Mrs. Maria’s fresh-baked bread—each bite is a testament to her skill and love for Cretan cuisine.

Park your car near the village school, as Lambini’s peaceful streets are free from vehicles. Take a leisurely stroll to the café, soaking in the tranquil village atmosphere.

While you’re here, admire the historic Church of Panagia and engage with the friendly locals, who are always eager to share stories about their beautiful home.
