As another beautiful season comes to an end, our hearts are filled with gratitude. 🤍🌿

To everyone who joined us at Taverna Vasilis this summer — whether it was your first visit or you've been coming back to us for years — thank you.

Thank you for the laughter, the conversations, the familiar faces, and the new friendships. For every meal shared, every sunset enjoyed, and every memory made around our tables.

You are the reason we love what we do, and we feel truly fortunate to welcome you into our little corner of Crete year after year.

As we close our doors for the season, we wish you a wonderful winter filled with warmth, happiness, and moments shared with the people you love.

Until we meet again, take a little piece of Crete with you. ☀️💙

With love and gratitude,
The Taverna Vasilis Family

Καλό χειμώνα ! 🇬🇷

From the Cretan sea to our table. 🐟🌊

Fresh fish, local flavours, a little Greek music, and the sea just a few steps away — this is how we do it in Crete. 🇬🇷

Simple food. Fresh ingredients. Cretan hospitality.

This is our new office. And this is the moment a man from a nearby hotel comes in (he is greeted very kindly as you can see) and asks how much should he pay to "buy" the little girl that is sitting outside and do things to her. We have obviously called the police and the hotel but we do not know if anything else happened regarding the case. It is absolutely disgusting and we will not have it, not in our place, not anywhere. If anyone can recognize this person, please, let us know. I am so sorry this is not a happy post but those things have to be taken care of. Many greetings

Edit: I get everyone is angry and upset, so are we but please imagine there was a young girl managing the office with a child sitting outside. Since it was in the afternoon, there weren't many people around. While we understand everyone's ideas what to do to this "man", this was a scary situation to be in. The owner of the hotel said they will take care of it. I will follow up with them though. This post is not really for us to find the person, they have their details, its to show everyone that this can happen anywhere at any time and for you to make your kids aware and to be safe. Thank you
