The house of Raki
About
In Crete, The house of Raki sits on the Epar.Od. Kaloudianon-Chrisoskalitissas road at Kissamos 734 00, in the island's western corner. It opens Mo-Sa 09:00-20:00, so a visit fits comfortably into a morning or afternoon rather than requiring a late evening.
The name points to raki, the pomace spirit poured across Crete, and the setting in Kissamos places it near the western end of the island, with Chania the nearest of the larger towns. Heraklion, Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos lie further east, while Elafonisi and Matala sit within reach along the coast.
First-time visitors should expect a working local stop rather than a polished tourist venue, with limited hours on Sundays. A 4.8 out of 5 average from 46 reviews reflects steady approval from those who have called in.
Greek is the main language and appears in the Greek alphabet on road signs and menus, so a translation app helps. Renting a car makes the drive along the Kissamos road far easier than depending on buses.
