OUR STORY
A family taverna built for long lunches and late dinners
Knossos is a relaxed stop in Malia for visitors who want honest Greek cooking, fresh seafood, and the feeling of being welcomed into a family place.
Our family name has been connected to this corner of Crete for more than three decades. After several years closed, the taverna reopened in 2021 with the next generation carrying the work forward.
Local ingredients
Fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and vegetables from our own land.
Warm service
Relaxed hospitality made for holiday dinners, shared plates, and repeat visits.
The kitchen stays close to traditional Cretan recipes, daily preparation, and ingredients chosen for the season. Vegetables from our own land and fresh local products keep the menu grounded in the island.
