Knossos Greek Taverna
About
In Crete, Knossos Greek Taverna is a local business. The restaurant sits at Ioannoy Konstantinidi, Kato Gouves 700 14, Greece, on the island's northern coast. Kato Gouves places the taverna within easy reach of Heraklion and the resort strip that runs east of the city.
Knossos Greek Taverna operates as a restaurant, and its kitchen follows the pattern of eating places across Crete. Diners have pushed its average to 4.8 out of 5 across 1127 reviews, a figure that speaks to how consistently it satisfies a large flow of guests. The taverna's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/KnossosTavernaGouves, carries its updates and contact details. Reaching it from Heraklion takes little time, and the other main towns on the island — Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia — sit along the same road network that serves the north coast.
Kato Gouves is a coastal settlement, so the taverna sits within the resort belt rather than inland. The address on Ioannoy Konstantinidi anchors it in the village itself, a short step from the seafront strip where visitors staying in the area tend to eat.
Crete's Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the island fills between June and September. Greek island cooking leans on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, all of which appear on taverna tables across Crete. Ferries connect the Greek islands, while flights from Athens and other major hubs land at Crete's airports, so arriving by sea or air is straightforward. Greek is the everyday language, and a few words help in shops and restaurants. Matala and Elafonisi lie further afield for those extending a stay.
