Our story

What makes us special: Hearty German dishes alongside Greek classics. Two traditions, one table.

Taverna Germaniki grew out of a friendship spanning more than ten years between two colleagues who reunited on Crete to pursue their shared passion for the culinary arts. Both fell instantly in love with the island and never wanted to leave. Today, we aim to bring you a taste of Germany alongside some Greek classics.
