You can't escape from our traditional home-made Cretan dishes, fresh fish, a variety of grilled meats, organic vegetables from our own gardens and meat from our flock of sheep. According to ancient custom, we still produce and serve wine and raki from our own vineyard. The olive oil we use for cooking is made from olives of our own trees.

In the evening, conclude the day watching the sea with a sundowners on our terrace - and then enjoy a delicious and extensive meal as the warm, star-studded night sets on.

Vatalos Taverna is open all year round and famous for its cooking, therefore you can meet local people and families here at any day.

Right above our taverna, on the first floor, there are 6 rooms waiting for you!

Each room has an unlimited view, from the gorgeous White Mountains and the surrounding rural landscape to the endless Libyan Sea.

The villas are located just 1km outside of the centre of Frangokastello, in a magical untouched rural environment surrounded by 8000m² of olive trees, fruit trees and a large vegetable garden.

All villas offer a magnificent view of the Libyan Sea to the South and the majestic White Mountains of Crete in the North.
