We ate here twice, the first by chance and the second time because it was our favourite meal of the holiday. Food outstanding. Prices very reasonable. Amazingly not a table empty at a time when most restaurants struggling. Complimentary garlic bread was delicious, as was the brownie and ice cream at the end of the meal. I generally choose vegetarian dishes, but the stifado was so tasty and tender. We loved Gerani.

Great restaurant in the heart of Gerani. Traditional Greek food, cooked to perfection with excellent service. I have Tsipoura here as it is always excellent, my husband has the pork chop which is fabulous too. Great draught beer - Charma.

I've visited many times, winter and summer, and simply love this tavern and all the traditional plates they serve. The food, the local wine and the straff/owners are hidden gems. Forget anything touristic, eat like a Greek with Greeks!

I had lunch one evening with my friends, choosing the tavern without knowing anything about it. It was a very pleasant surprise, because all the food was very good and the staff very friendly. A quiet place even if it is located near the street. Very clean as well. I strongly recommend!

We arrived on the island with the last ferry so we checked in close to midnight. The host was kind enough to take us to this taverna knowing that all the others were closed. The waiter recommended us a menu for two which was definitely for at least three. A big plate with a huge Cretan pork steak, lamb, chicken breast, sausages, home made burger and vegetables on grill along with tzatziki, Greek salad, and wine. From the house dessert and raki came with the bill, of course. But, beside the delicious food, the atmosphere was also very friendly and relaxing. The waiter did a great job and he did it naturally, without any stress. We went back with some friends who were also pleasantly surprised.

We ate in this restaurant a number of times during our two week holiday. The menu offers traditional Greek dishes and every meal we had was so delicious

We are a family of 10 & have been in this area for 10 days & without question this is the best food & service in the Platanias region. Fantastic traditional honest food served with a smile! Lamb chops cooked by the owner were without question the best we have ever had .They even brought out a birthday cake with hilarious candles once they new we were celebrating a birthday. Lovely people . Lovely food . Lovely night .

Everything we tried was good. Lots of choices for vegetarians as well.(we had one friend who was a vegetarian). The portions are big and the prices small. Kostas the waiter is a friendly host and he always paid attention to all customers.

Everything was perfect!the food was homemade and delicious..the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice!Everybody was friendly and we really enjoyed it! Thanks for everything! :)

Visited this restaurant for a quiet meal with my girlfriend one evening. Excellent traditional food, great value, and really good service. This was recommended by a person who lives in the area, and it did not disappoint. You can see why locals use this restaurant, as it offers a good quiet unhurried dining experience.
