The Residence Villas adopts the philosophy of Cretan gastronomy and offers guests the unique flavors of Cretan cuisine at its breakfast buffet. Apart from coffee, guests will find beverages from local herbs such as “diktamo” (also called “”erondas”), chamomile, mountain tea and sage. Orange juice and sour cherry juice complete the list of beverages. Other products served are fresh bread, olives, fruits, vegetables and cheeses (feta, gruyere) from local producers. The handmade biscuits and cookies with sesame and walnuts hold a special place together with the pies; there are sweet ones, such as walnut pie or pie with raisins, yoghurt pie, orange pie or carrot pie and savory ones, such as cheese pie and aubergine pie, all made with local virgin olive oil on the premises. The “ryzogalo” (rice pudding), the wheat with milk and the “tiganites” (pancakes) add a special touch to breakfast while the yoghurt with thyme honey or dried plums or raisins and peanuts make a for a nutritious and healthy start to one’s day. Jams, cakes, fruit salad and cold cuts are also among the guest’s choices for breakfast.
