Taverna Acropolis
About
On Crete, Taverna Acropolis occupies a spot in Kamilari 702 00, in the south of the island. Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi are the towns and places most visitors use as reference points on Crete. The taverna is known for its food, and the 4.8 out of 5 average across 446 reviews reflects how consistently it has been received.
First-time visitors can expect a restaurant setting in a village, with the focus on the kitchen rather than on scale. That rating, gathered from 446 reviews, suggests a place that has built its following over time rather than on passing trade. Kamilari sits in the south of Crete, within reach of the larger towns and resort areas along the coast.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, which is the tradition the taverna works within. Ferries and high-speed catamarans link the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so allow slack in any island-hopping plans.
Winter brings rain and rough seas to Crete, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the season shapes what is open. Reaching Kamilari from the main towns is easiest by road, with the south coast resorts within driving distance.
