Taverna Aura

4.8(509 reviews)

About

Taverna Aura, on Crete, sits at Manousou Manousaka, Ag. Nikolaos 721 00, Greece, in the eastern part of the island. Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi are among the island's main settlements and destinations, with Agios Nikolaos serving as the nearest town.

The venue is a restaurant, and a 4.8 out of 5 average across 509 reviews places it among the higher-rated dining options on the island. That volume of feedback suggests a well-established reputation among both visitors and locals. The Agios Nikolaos area is reachable by road from Heraklion and the other main towns along the northern coast.

Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so a translation app or a few phrases help. Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus, and the local kitchen leans on what the island produces.

First-time visitors should expect a restaurant setting in the Agios Nikolaos area, with the address on Manousou Manousaka. Reaching the venue from the main resorts is straightforward by car or local transport. The eastern location makes it a natural stop for those exploring the island's northern and eastern coasts.
