History

The taverna was originally a small village shop, selling local produce and drinks to the people of the village and passers by. It would also be the place where the village men would meet and ‘put the world to rights’ , or talk about gardening and their produce or the weather, over ouzo or a coffee.

The decision was made to change the shop to a taverna, approximately 30 years ago – it was then then the 75 Steps Taverna was born. The taverna was small then run by Tasso’s father Panagiotis. When Tassos took over from his father in the 80’s, he could see the potential of what could be offered to the people. Tassos had a good start with the beautiful surroundings and excellent food. The taverna was made bigger by building in front of the family home.
