Avli

Avli Review

This stone, barrel-vaulted dining room and a multitiered garden are part of the gorgeous Avli hotel (see below)—the most luxurious accommodations in town—and are attractive settings for creative interpretations of Cretan cuisine: in addition, the grass-fed lamb, fresh-caught fish, and garden vegetables are all organic and natural. Even a simple horiatiki (Greek salad) and grilled lamb chop can be transporting here, as is the excellent selection of the island's finest wines. Reservations are a good idea in summer.
