Only the Best

Our Philosophy
at Akrogiali

At Akrogiali Taverna, our kitchen is not just a cooking space. It's where we prepare truly delicious dishes from the finest ingredients using the best practices. Our philosophy is founded on five pillars that embody the essence of Cretan cuisine and the hospitality we offer.

Authenticity

We strive to maintain authentic Cretan cuisine through our dishes. Each recipe reflects the rich culture of Crete and the heritage of our ancestors.

Fresh Ingredients

For us, fresh ingredients are an uncompromisable value. Daily fishing, harvesting from our garden, and products from our farm ensure that our materials are as fresh as possible, to offer you the best flavors. We use only extra virgin olive oil, and for honey and herbs, we trust only local producers.

Unmatched Service and Hospitality

A visitor to Akrogiali is not just a customer but a guest in our home. Our service reflects the warmth of Cretan hospitality.

Quality

All our materials are organic and selected with strict quality criteria. We fish with our boat, cultivate our own garden, and maintain our farm. We collaborate with local producers and personally check every product that enters our kitchen to guarantee the utmost quality on your plate.

Sustainability

We draw inspiration from nature and return it with respect, implementing practices that reduce waste and promote sustainability. From the selection of our raw materials to our cooking methods and waste management, our goal is to minimize our environmental footprint.
