Lotos Taverna

A Taste of Crete, Served with Love Since 1992

Just a few steps from Lotus Serenity Suites, Lotos Taverna is more than a restaurant — it’s the heart of our family’s story. Founded in 1992 by our parents, this seaside taverna has become a beloved spot for both locals and travelers seeking authentic Cretan flavors, warm hospitality, and a setting that feels like home.

For over 30 years, we’ve been welcoming guests with the same values: quality, simplicity, and genuine care.

Authentic Cretan Cuisine

At Lotos Taverna, we believe food should be honest and made with love. Our menu features traditional Cretan and Greek dishes, prepared with fresh, local ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations.

Enjoy:

  • Fresh-grilled fish & seafood

  • Handmade moussaka and pastitsio

  • Local meats cooked over the coals

  • Colorful salads with extra virgin olive oil from Crete

  • Vegetarian & vegan options always available

  • House-made desserts and local wines

Eat Like a Local. Feel Like Family.

Come experience the flavors and spirit of Crete — one plate at a time.

A Relaxed Seaside Atmosphere

Located just off Ammoudara Beach, Lotos Taverna offers a relaxed, welcoming setting — perfect for lunch under the sun or dinner by candlelight with the sound of the sea in the background.

Our space is simple, cozy, and made for long, slow meals with good company.

A Family Story

Run today by the second generation — with the same passion and respect for tradition — Lotos Taverna is a reflection of who we are. Many of our guests return year after year, and many have become friends.

Here, you’re not just a customer. You’re part of our story.
