History

About us

Back in 1993, at the Siva's square, we decided to open a small stone-built tavern where we could offer the Cretan traditional cuisine as a treat to our fellow-villagers and to other friends and visitors of our village. At the beginning we were a bit reluctant and had only eight tables for our customers, but the love of the people prompted us to make our tavern so big as it could fullfil our customers' needs.

  • The village's hangout

    A THOUSAND WELCOMES AT VAFIS' TAVERN, WHOEVER COMES ONCE MAY COME AGAIN.

    Our daily goal is that our customers leave completely satisfied both with food and prices and that our tavern will become their favorite hangout place and their friends' too.

  • for memorable evenings

    Spend unforgetable evenings with quality food in our cozy and comfortable tavern.

    Moreover, in August you will have the possibility (while enjoying your meal) to watch the 10-day-festivities of our village and on the 29th we can all celebrate together at the annual feast of our village when we commemorate Saint Ioannis Rigologos.

  • and traditional tastes

    Cooking in the old traditional way cretan dishes, we travel you in another era, with tastes that will certainly leave an imprint!

    Most of our products like olive oil, raki, meat, vegetables, e.t.c are homegrown.
