Our Story

In the picturesque village of Pano Platanias in Chania, just 10 kilometers west of the city, a unique vantage point reveals itself, offering panoramic views from Chania to Kolymbari. The tavern Vigli, whose name means “watchtower,” embodies the sense of its privileged location, beautifully combining natural beauty with a gastronomic experience.

Since 1993, the Voulgarakis family has created an exceptional culinary destination with traditional Cretan cuisine, based on local and fresh ingredients sourced with particular care and dedication. Each visit to Vigli Tavern is a flavorful exploration of Cretan and Mediterranean cuisine, with aromas that perfectly blend with the exceptional quality of the wine.

The view from the tavern is truly enchanting, while the genuine and warm smile of the family provides a unique sense of hospitality. The combination of gastronomy, stunning views, and the family atmosphere creates an unforgettable experience, making you feel like a guest of the Cretan land, rather than just a customer.

The ideal time to visit Vigli Tavern is at sunset, when the magic of the setting sun transforms the landscape into a symphony of mauve colors. Here, every dinner is a celebration of taste and beauty, perfect for enjoying an idyllic evening with family or friends, savoring the combination of excellent cuisine and breathtaking views, always with proper service from our friendly staff.
