Taverna Dialeskari

Well took a short boat ride to this lovey tavern. Hosts are just about the most friendly you would meet, but not intrusive. Food is great. Entire dining area has an expansive tree over it. As the sun fades you u feel like you are enveloped under the canopy with candlelight.

Great experience to be able to eat hare. Amazing view. We had Dacos and tzatziki and we enjoyed it.

The best taverna with stunning views of the turquoise sea. The food is very good and fresh. There's a good menu from yoghurt and honey and fruit, sfakia pie, eggs and bacon, pork souvlaki, pork belly, pork steak, boureki, goat,chicken, burgers, sausages, dacos, omlette, various salads and much more. Great service and fantastic staff.

This a very cute taverna is located at exit of trail Aradena gorge. Is fantastic place to take rest after hiking in mountains and waiting for boat. Super nice saff, comfortable seats and an amazing viev.

The boureki was excellent, also the lamb’s liver. Fruit salad was made with freshly cut fruit. House white wine was good. The view is remarkable.

Great little lunch stopover during our day boat trip. We had mezedes and tsikoudia, raki.

Very cute cafe at the top of the cliff overlooking Marmara bay. Fabulous views. Food is just fine in that very typically Cretan way. All good

ROOMS, TAVERNA AND HIKES REVIEW After 12 days and nights here, i can report on a place as remote as a scorned ex', with rooms and a taverna. ROOMS: the rooms are as basic as a toddler. The pics tell the story. The mattresses are as firm as the landscape (hack: I put a banket between the mattress and the base sheet). The bathrooms are pretty old school, and could use a post hook on the shower head, and plug for the sink. Theres a fan. I was here in may, and the weather was perfect for warm days, cool water, cool nights. The hot water takes a while to travel the distance, but comes on warmer than a chilli scone. The rest of the rooms function well, with some great views. The walls are thin, so you'll need to be discrete with ypur Cretan luvvin moves. If there's a way to make your stay more enjoyable, the crew of Albanian guys will do it. They're unbelievable..it feels like you are in their home, as their guests...well, actually, you are..and they're super hospitable. Sadly, at the time I write this, no wifi in the rooms, but the general phone reception is good. RESTAURANT. The place has a tradionally orientated menu. Everything I had was at least very good, and occasionally exceptional. Many ingredients are sourced on the farm. I want to do shout outs to several dishes, but I won't. Choose what you fancy, and sit back and relax. The house wines are much better than the price would lead you to think. And again, the hospitality is wonderful. These guys are as happy to see you as they are each other...and that's saying something. NEARBY: The next town over has 4 restaurants. Check Google for reviews. They're also really good BEACH: Amazing as you can see, and around 50m end to end...perfect! Stones get hot, so footwear is essential. HIKES: You need the right footwear. I'm used to hikes that meander, go up and down a bit, you need to keep your mind on where you step from time to time. Not so here. At times I was as scared as an inexperienced mountain climber, trying to climb a mountain. There are sections of some hikes, where if they were a bit steeper, you'd need ropes. Having said that, I saw more over 60s, of all shapes than a bingo parlour...so what do I know? I made it alive and saw great things. Enjoy marmara. It'd as great as my friend told me it would be. Tell the guys the 192cm Australian Stephen sent you.
