Join us as we journey 40 minutes south of Chania into the heart of the Cretan mountains. In this first installment of our Becoming Greek series, where we dive into food stories in Chania Crete. We discover the story of Ntounias, a family-run, electricity-free tavern where everything—the produce, cheese, meat, wine—is grown, raised, and cooked on-site using centuries-old methods. This is one of the most traditional restaurants in the world and often cited as Greece’s most authentic taverna.
Here you’ll experience:
🍞 Φρεσκοψημένο ψωμί σε ξυλόφουρνο
🌿 Λαχανικά από τον κήπο, που μαζεύονται με το χέρι
🐐 Κρέας ελευθέρας βοσκής και λάδι ελιάς, που πιέζεται στο σπίτι
🔥 Απλή μαγειρική πάνω σε φωτιά και πηλό
👣 Ένα μέρος αγαπητό από τους ντόπιους, αλλά και αναζητούμενο από γευσιγνώστες παγκοσμίως

Amazing video, I just tried to buy your guide to support you guys but my Apple Pay declined. I’ll be sure to return for it later. I’d like more guides as well like how you learned the language, cultural courses, how to integrate, local knowledge u don’t find online etc.
I would LOVE to live there and would thrive on all the Beautiful Fruit, Veg & Salad grown organically and in the sunshine – Beautiful ❤
Great vid! Thanks for sharing ❤
I can smell that fire baked bread from here! 🤤
