Breakfast in Heraklion, Crete. A truly unique experience

Κρήτη Λίμνη Κουρνά
Crete is a place of incomparable beauty that deeply touches all the senses. Green mountains, steep slopes, deep gorges, sandy beaches, fairy-tale coasts captivate the sight.

The smell of wild thyme and oregano, fennel, Cretan dittany and sage enchants the sense of smell.

Waterfall roars, the splash of waves, calls of eagles and hawks seduce the hearing.
And as for the taste, what can anyone say?

Pure, local ingredients, some of which are found only in Crete, married with recipes some of which are lost in the Minoan era, offer culinary delights that are famous all over the planet.

This magic, combined with the equivalent of Asia Minor, can be experienced in one of the most special places in all of Crete, in Lions’ Square, in the “navel” of Heraklion. There lives, develops and evolves a special place that has been offering pleasures of taste, quality and tradition for 100 years, Phyllosofies.

Breakfast, brunch, dessert or even a simple coffee is not just a tasteful delight here, but a holistic experience.

A wide variety of options such as omelettes, sandwiches, crepes, bougatsa with various fillings, loukoumades with Cretan honey and thyme, pies with fresh, hand-opened dough, pastries, juices & herbs of the Cretan land, but also special Cretan recipes can offer you everything you need for the most important meal of the day.

At the same time you can relax and feel the energy of the place, a historical spot next to the famous Morozini fountain that once supplied the whole of Heraklion with water.

Every hour of the day here has its own nuance. Come early in the morning to listen to the echo of history through the stillness of the dawn or at noon and then to be absorbed in the flow of thousands of passers-by.

And if you are people who love sports, then our two other restaurants, with even more culinary options, in the two largest sports centers of Heraklion, will offer you, with respect for the Cretan land and tradition everything you need for a healthy and highly enjoyable diet.
We are looking forward to welcoming you!
