The Caravella Restaurant is more than just another Cretan Taverna or Restaurant. It is famous for the fine Cretan cuisine and the friendly service kept on high standards by chef brothers Yiannis and Georgos and their team. This is why most of the Cretan Guide books recommend the Caravella as of the top-ten Fish restaurants on the island. Another typical Cretan habit is the "look into the pots" - meaning you could come into the kitchen and choose your meal right from the casserole - so you could be sure your meal is fresh cooked and exactly what you want.
