Athivoles- Chromonastiri

When entering a restaurant you see drying sage leaf and Camilla flowers that were just picked from the field, you know its the real deal! Situated in Chromonastiri, only seven km's away from Rethimno, which except our tavern houses the private museum of Prinari which is a fully restored mill and the museum of military struggles of Crete. The previous is housed in a venetian villa and has several impressive things like the Bulgarian artillery, spoils of the first Balkan wars, the American made UH-1 Huey helicopter and many others.
Now back to the food, traditional Greek cuisine like fava beans, beef, stuffed vine leaves and of course grilled meat. Very good quality of food with very friendly service. The interior is not impressive but the food is being served all year round in the central square since its so well protected. It was surprising for me to learn that the place has a reputation for the the cauliflower stifado (meaning onions and red sauce) which not only I did not try but I also learned about only after I left, but I am going back to try!
Closing its a very pleasant experience and I am recommending it for any group of people. Not only for the food but as an excursion as a whole since its really the ride!
