O Giannas
About
On Crete, O Giannas sits in Mylopotamos 740 52, a hillside area of the island's Rethymno region. Word of mouth has carried the name across the island, with 99 reviews pointing to a loyal following.
First-time visitors should note that the kitchen is at its most reliable in the evening, when the tables fill steadily. A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from those 99 reviews places it among the island's better-regarded addresses. The village setting means the venue draws a mix of locals and travellers heading between Rethymno and Heraklion.
Mylopotamos lies inland from the northern coast, and the drive from Rethymno is straightforward on the main road. The surrounding countryside is quiet, with olive groves and small villages marking the approach.
Reaching Crete by ferry or plane is simple, and once on the island a hire car makes the inland villages far easier to reach. Menus across Crete lean on horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from the hills. The island's season runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches, so a visit outside that peak suits those who prefer quieter roads.
