I Kriti

The Kriti restaurant in the center of Athens offers Greek cuisine and authentic Cretan specialties. It is a family-run rakadiko at 5 Veranzerou Street that is famous for preserving Cretan tradition and warm Cretan hospitality. The restaurant space is reminiscent of an old tavern or a cozy place in Crete with traditional decoration, retro objects on the walls and homely coziness. In the traditional Crete tavern you will try traditional hochlios, smoked apaki, Sfakia pies, cherry tomatoes stuffed with cheese, sweet potato, Cretan sausage, pumpkin flowers stuffed with rice, delicious maratho pie, liver with honey, lamb’s leg and many more excellent dishes of Cretan gastronomy that are accompanied from excellent raki and tsikoudia. The specialty of the shop is the cartezina, which are pork ribs in the carcass with an amazing taste! If you want to travel to Crete through flavors and aromas that you will enjoy in the center of Athens, the good Cretan restaurant Kriti in Kaningos Square is a very good choice!
