As you leave Drapanos village in Apokoronas region following signs to Kefalas – less than 2 kilometres along the road as you are climbing a small hill, there is a sign to the left to ‘Ombrosgialos’. Follow the sloping twisty road down to the sea and you will be soon driving through Ombros Gialos.

Ombros Gialos is a very small community, simply a smattering of houses on a hillside in a very beautifull and hidden area. What you may not know is that the hill looks out over a beautiful blue bay to Rethymno – the views are spectacular.

This little community has essentially been built in the last 10 years. The exception is the wondrous taverna at the bottom of the hill which sits at the side of the lapping sea. This old fish taverna has been there a long time. It used to sell nothing but fish but now there is a full menu.
