About

Iokasti Restaurant, part of the family‑owned Villa Iokasti in the picturesque village of Koutouloufari, offers a warm Mediterranean dining experience in the heart of Crete. From the moment you step into the open‑air courtyard, you are invited to taste authentic Cretan and international dishes crafted from local ingredients and seasoned by owner Dimitris Vasilakis, who has been cooking since 2002. The menu showcases classic favorites such as spanakopita, freshly baked bread, and an extensive selection of Greek wines, many of which are produced on the villa’s own estate. Whether you choose to dine in the cozy café‑bar or pair your meal with a glass of Greek wine while strolling along the seaside promenade, the restaurant’s relaxed family‑friendly atmosphere makes it perfect for couples, foodies, and travellers seeking genuine local flavour. In addition to its regular menu, Iokasti Restaurant provides daily breakfast baskets delivered directly to guests’ rooms, featuring homemade bread, jams, spanakopita, fresh juices, and more, billed at €12 per person per day. The villa’s friendly staff ensures that each guest enjoys personalized service, with a happy cocktail bar, a wine cellar boasting over 60 labels, and picturesque outdoor seating amid fragrant flowers and crystal‑clear poolwater. Whether you spend an evening leisurely enjoying sunset over the sea or an early morning tasting the newest breakfast creations, Iokasti offers a memorable culinary journey that showcases the best of Crete’s hospitality.
