On a quiet pebble beach in Western Crete, this unassuming joint look like it’s stuck in the ‘70s. But the food is a revelation. The seaside taverna is run by two young brothers—one catches the fish, the other serves it, and their mother Eleni cooks it. Her fish soup is second to none. If you’re lucky, they might have caught some sea snails, a rare delicacy. Iliovasilema is Greek for sunset, and the waterfront tables are perfectly placed to watch the sun sink into the sea.
