Tsikoudia (aka raki): Though raki is enjoyed all over Greece ... The restaurants are just as varied outside the city. For traditional Cretan food, visit Koula’s Tastes, a tavern in Skalani ...

And remember to try the local extra-virgin olive oil, Cretan honey and raki, and a traditional grape marc spirit for a complete culinary experience.
