Kostas
About
On Crete, Kostas holds a place in Stalida, a resort village on the northern coast, with its address on Grammatikaki 1. The taverna sits close to the beach strip that runs through the village, in a stretch of coast served by the island's main road network.
Kostas is known among visitors for its Greek cooking and its long-standing presence in Stalida, and the Facebook page under the name kostastavernagoldenbeach is the place to find it. First-time visitors should expect a relaxed, family-run setting with a menu built around grilled meats, seafood and mezze. A rating of 4.6 from 513 reviews places it among the better-reviewed tavernas in the area, and that volume of feedback suggests steady traffic through the season.
Stalida is served by the coastal road that links the main resorts, so reaching Kostas from Agios Nikolaos, Rethymno or Heraklion is straightforward by car, bus or taxi. Chania, Ierapetra and Sitia sit further along the same road network, and Matala and Elafonisi lie within reach for a longer day out.
The island's climate runs to hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, which shapes when the taverna fills up. Greek is the everyday language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, and menus usually carry both scripts. Evenings tend to start late, with dinner served well into the night.
