Poseidon Taverna

Hania Province


Signposted down a narrow alley to the left as you come into Georgioupoli, this well-regarded taverna is run by a fishing family. You can choose from the day’s fish and seafood laid out on the counter and enjoy an excellent meal under the mulberry trees in the lovely courtyard.
