The tavern "Kavouria" (crabs) is very picturesque and typical. The boss "Spiros" speaks of course Greek, some English, some German, some French and all that, really, really fast !  Spiros offers fresh fish and seafood, but also Cretan specialties. We recommend the "grilled barbounia (red mullet)".  Do not order your meal at the same time as the aperitif, because you will not have finished the aperitif that you will already be ... served :-).

The Kochilia tavern has existed since 1910. It is run by Giorgos and Despina who present their double tavern: Our family settled here in about 1910. Over the last years we have refurbished and modernised our tavern, creating a more comfortable space and maintaining the traditional local character. In winter-time you can sit in a cosy interior with open fire-place and traditional furniture. In summer our big terrace invites everybody to sit at the former port, overlooking the small beach. From here you also have a beautiful view to the far-away mountain villages, to the cliff of Kastella and its magnificent sun-rise, as well as to the island of St. Nicolas with its Minoan remains. In the kitchen for the preparation of our dishes, we use all the local products as well as our olive oil and the fresh fish of the fishermen of Mochlos.

At the entrance to the pretty village, "Remezzo - La Marinière" is a small Hotel Bar Restaurant with an exceptional view of the mountains, the sea, and a small beach below.

As far as the kitchen is concerned, Pierre makes maximum use of local products, both meat and fish.

No, it's not a Greek tavern, the Mediterranean dishes are revisited according to Pierre's mood: local, taste, seasoning, are the key words of his cuisine. 

The plus: Laurent's welcome, generosity, smile and good humor make this establishment a must in the village. From breakfast to digestive, Pierre et Lolo and their "French Touch" are worth the detour.

The Karpouzi pizzeria is open every day. Giorgos et Maria, the owners, also offer other dishes and mezzes.

In season, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, you can taste its excellent homemade "Gyros".
