The Olive Magazine — Ntounias, in Chania was chosen by Olive magazine as one of the best five restaurants on the Greek islands. This is what Olive has to say : “Ntounias is a very basic looking restaurant in the hills, far away from the tourist trail, with a rickety looking set of clay pots strung up over a fire and a lovely husband-and-wife team in the kitchen. They raise as much of the meat and veg they use as possible on terraced land in the steep valley below the restaurant. It’s a must-visit for proper Cretan mountain food – very different, meatier and more rustic, than that served just a few miles away on the coast (lots of goat and game, and no fish)”.
