A remote place with a salty breeze. 

Agia Fotia Taverna lies in a tiny cove near Kerames, Crete. It’s the kind of place you reach only by car, down winding roads framed by olive groves. When you arrive, it feels like the end of the world, but in the best way. The sea laps just a few meters from your table.

Simple, slow, and unforgettable. 

The Perakis family has run the taverna since the 1960s. Their hospitality is warm and unhurried. The food is straight from the sea or their garden. Grilled fish, creamy tzatziki, and tomatoes that taste like sunshine. Come for lunch, stay for dinner. Or stay the night in one of their four clean, modern rooms with views that stretch to Africa on clear days.

Peace and platefuls. 

There’s no nightlife here. Just stars, waves, and maybe a glass of local wine. Hikers and snorkelers love it. So do couples escaping the crowds. It’s a peaceful base to visit Preveli Beach, Ligres, and the historic Preveli Monastery, all within a short drive.

Things to know before you go. 

They’re open from April to October, every day except Wednesday. It’s cash-only, so plan ahead. Parking is tight. And Sunset gets busy; book a table if you can. If you’re staying the night, check availability early. Rooms are popular for a reason.
