Bustling Old Town taverna serving hearty Cretan classics with generous portions and fair prices, though seafood and lamb chops can be inconsistent and the crowd is tourist-heavy.
Taverna Stavros delivers solid neighborhood taverna dining with strong food quality in its traditional Cretan specialties and attentive, friendly service. The charming vine-draped Old Town setting and generous portions at fair prices make it a reliable choice for casual Greek dining. However, inconsistent execution on seafood and lamb chops and occasional service gaps during peak times prevent it from reaching higher-grade territory—it's a dependable local favorite rather than a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Seafood platters and lamb chops vary in quality; better luck with slow-cooked lamb or house specials
