Avli by Kassaki Cold Cuts in Galatas
Book now for a unique taste experience. Opening time: April - October
Kassaki Charcuterie is located in the village of Galatas, in the Municipality of Minoa Pediadas, just half an hour from Heraklion. Built on a hill, among the olive groves, it enjoys a unique view of the village of Galatas and the Astrakiano gorge.
At the place where our family tradition of handmade cured meat products started at the beginning of the 20th century and continues to this day, we created “Avli” (greek word for courtyard).
At “Avli,” we offer charcuterie tastings and comprehensive taste experiences that emerge through the gastronomy of Crete. Our handmade cured meats are paired with products from local producers, and each dish on our menu tells a story of authentic flavours and a long culinary tradition.
Prior reservation is required!
