In the mountain village of Drakona, Stelios Trilirakis founded Ntounias, a traditional Cretan farm and Slow Food tavern dedicated to preserving ancestral culinary heritage. Operating entirely without modern appliances, the tavern serves authentic, slow-cooked dishes prepared exclusively over open wood fires. This sustainable, farm-to-table destination sources its ingredients directly from the crops and livestock raised on-site. Beyond its traditional dining experience, Ntounias offers visitors a deeper connection to rural Cretan culture through immersive workshops and local lodging.
