Pasiphae Restaurant provides a distinctive opportunity to savour traditional Cretan cuisine, featuring dishes inspired by recipes from ancient Minoan Crete.

Take the opportunity to relish Minoan souvlaki, just as King Minos himself would have savoured it, in a magnificent natural setting near Knossos Palace.

The recipe for Minoan souvlaki is referenced in the Odyssey and the Iliad.

Indeed, the techniques for preparing and roasting meat on the spit and clay barbecue, which have endured in Crete and Santorini, provide a glimpse into how souvlaki was consumed during the Minoan period.

(It is advisable to notify us a day in advance if you intend to sample Minoan dishes, so as to allow us to make the necessary preparations.)
