Taverna Roussos

4.7(182 reviews)

About

Found on Crete, Taverna Roussos is a restaurant set at Πεδιάδος, Choudetsi 701 00, Greece, placing it inland on the island rather than on the coast. Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi all lie within reach, so the venue sits within a web of towns and resorts rather than off on its own.

Choudetsi sits within reach of the main road routes across Crete, a position that keeps it connected to the island's larger towns. As a restaurant, Taverna Roussos works within the island's established eating culture, where Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats. The venue's reputation rests on a 4.7 out of 5 average across 182 reviews, a tally that points to a steady flow of diners rather than a brief burst of attention.

Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer, which matters for anyone combining Crete with another island.

Most Greek islands are rocky and hilly, and olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes, so the landscape around Choudetsi reflects that farming pattern. The 182 reviews behind the 4.7 average give a settled sense of how Taverna Roussos is received on Crete.
