Oil
Koroneiki oil from western-Crete groves, poured fresh and kept away from the light.
Breakfast at the house
Few things. Properly chosen. Generously served.
We begin with fruit, yogurt, honey, bread and something from the oven. Eggs are cooked when you sit down, with herbs, tomato or local cheese according to season. The table changes because the market does.
From the pantry
Ingredients with an address.
We prefer a short chain and a clear name. Producers change with harvest and availability; the standard does not.
Bread
Country loaves, barley rusks and warm pies from a neighbourhood baker who works before the street wakes.
Dairy
Sheep’s yogurt, fresh mizithra and aged graviera, each served where its character makes sense.
Honey
Thyme, pine or heather depending on the beekeeper, the flowering and what the year has given.
Fruit
Oranges through winter, loquats and cherries in spring, melon, figs and grapes as the heat builds.
Herbs
Dittany, sage, marjoram and mountain tea infused simply, with fresh herbs folded into eggs and greens.
What may be on the table
Not a menu fixed in January.
Warm kalitsounia with greens. Eggs with wild fennel. Sheep’s yogurt, thyme honey and toasted walnuts. Dakos when tomatoes are deep red and fragrant. Orange cake in winter; figs and soft cheese at the end of summer.
Vegetarian and gluten-conscious breakfasts are easy to arrange with notice. For allergies, tell us before arrival so the kitchen can prepare safely and explain any limits clearly.

Later in the day
A bottle, a small plate, the courtyard cooling.
There is no formal hotel restaurant. In the afternoon and evening we pour a concise selection of Cretan wine and prepare small plates from the same pantry. For dinner, Chania’s tables are close; we will point you towards the one that fits the night.

Wake slowly. The city can wait until after coffee.
Breakfast is available to add during direct booking and can be adjusted for the way you prefer to start the day.
