It is one of the oldest restaurants of Crete. It is located in Platanias at a distance of 11 km from the city of Chania, on the main road headed to Kisamos.
Mylos tou Kerata first opened its doors back in 1960 when the owner of that time, Dimitris Kavros, converted the area around the water mill and the old inn to a taverna called "Keratas" (which means "cuckold" or "someone with horns"). The name comes from the fact that the inn used to be a quiet spot for cheating husbands and wives and the fact that the walls were decorated with animal horns that the owner sometimes wore to tease people.
Back in that time, the taverna became well renowned for its quality, and it remains that way today. In 1999 it was rewarded as the finest restaurant in Crete by the Greek Tourism Organization & one of the four finest in Greece.
In the courtyard there is the Venetian 14th-century water mill, and next to that, the inn that offered its hospitality to the tired travellers. The old inn has been transformed into a marvelous interior with a decoration that is renewed every day with materials derived from nature: fresh and dried flowers, fruits, and vegetables (tomatoes, artichokes, huge colored pumpkins, sculpted watermelons, and more). The courtyard is a paradise filled with trees, some of which are perennial, scented plants and flowers.
The cuisine is traditional Cretan and Mediterranean. All of the dishes are prepared from carefully selected materials and cooked in virgin olive oil. There is a large collection of carefully selected wines from the Greek vineyards.
