Exceptional local cuisine in a 200 year old traditional house. Perfect location, wonderful people, excellent service in a friendly atmosphere. It was the highlight of a 7-day roadtrip in northern Greece!

Where shall I start praising this gem in the Rhodope mountains? There are so many things to say about this place but to cut it short: it is an experience for all senses.
It is about a 40-minutes drive from Xanthi to this Taverna. The roads are all fine apart from the last couple of miles to the Taverna but nothing to serious and neither special drivers skills nor a SUV needed.
The Taverna is beautifully situated on a hill which has panoramic views across the valley and the surrounding mountains. I loved the picturesque view of the distant village and the mosque and found myself ruminating about life and the tranquillity there. Location is absolutely superb with astonishing views!
Let us talk about the food! I need to mention this before, I grew up with the traditional food they are serving at this Taverna as part of my family is from Xanthi. However, even being "used" to the dishes and having been eating them almost all my life, these dishes at this Taverna were just a different level of taste. The taste of the food was absolutely amazing and I am sure that everyone will feel the say, especially those who are not used to these dishes anyway. I was happy as a child and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was all perfectly presented, decorated and the service was very friendly. At the end, we drank our traditional coffee and ate a dessert, which is a must do. Communication should not be a problem as they speak many languages. I will definitely return once I am in the region again. Thank you!
