Taverna Niki
About
Taverna Niki is a local business in Crete, a restaurant set on the road between Neapolis and Chersonisou at Ano Kera 700 05. The address places the taverna inland from the northern coast, in the hill country above the route that links the island's eastern towns. As a restaurant, Taverna Niki serves the kind of cooking that Greek island tables are built around, from grilled meats to fresh seafood, olive oil and local cheeses. A rating of 4.8 out of 5 has been built from 1767 reviews, a figure that points to a long-standing local following rather than passing trade. The taverna keeps an online presence at http://www.nikitaverna.gr/, where the kitchen's offering is set out. First-time visitors arriving from Heraklion or the other main towns will find the setting removed from the coastal bustle, with the road address marking it as a stop rather than a resort venue. Crete's Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the busiest stretch for travellers runs from June through September. Greek island cooking leans on what the land and sea provide, so seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats shape most menus. Ferries link the Greek islands with each other and with the mainland, while flights from Athens and major hubs bring visitors in from further afield. Greek is the everyday language on Crete, and a few words go a long way in village tavernas.
