\u201cPeperia\u201d tavern has been certified by the \u201cCretan Quality Label\u201d which aims at the preservation of the Cretan Cuisine in relation to the preparation and the content. Cretan olive oil is exclusively used during food preparation.
\nOlive oil production is conducted by traditional, biological methods and this point is worth mentioning since a lot of trees are more than 2000 years old and continue to crop well.\u00a0\u00a0 The tavern is located in the prefecture of Lasithi in Crete on the mountainous, picturesque village of Pefkoi, which is about seven (7) kilometers off Makris Gialos. The tavern was named after green pepper which is a plant that dominates not only the tavern but the village as well. This vegetable was delivered to the village as a sample probably 100 years or more ago.
\nOne can buy various products in \u201cPeperia\u201d like virgin olive oil, wine, rake, honey and herbs, which are produced by Eikosipentaki family and are used for the preparation of the dishes that are offered in the tavern.
\nMr. Fanis Eikosipentakis the owner of the business stresses that \u201cafter so many years of efforts to preserve Cretan tradition, the future of the company solely focuses on the customer who can sample and enjoy a variety of Cretan dishes\u201d.
\nThere are also interesting sights in the area nearby such as the exceptionally-beautiful caves of \u201cApaloustres\u201d and \u201cLatsida Vreikou\u201d, where signs of Neolithic habitation were found.
\nMoreover, Pefkoi village is the place where a very beautiful and easy to walk gorge commences.
\nThe small gorge of Pefkoi is situated on the south coast of Crete and stretches for about four (4) kilometers, starting from the village Pefkoi and ending up to the beach of the tourist settlement of Makris Gialos.
\nThe relatively short and easy route remains unforgettable because through the green of the pine trees, the peculiar white color of the rocks and the blue color of the sky unique moments are offered to the walkers.\u00a0 Actually, the torrent river bed is filled with plane-trees all the way.
\nThere are caves in the wider area which reveal human presence already since Neolithic times and more specifically since 2.800 B.C. The visitor of today has the opportunity to admire the remnants of such caves on the way to Apaloustres caves and the cave of Vreikos.
\nAccess to Pefkoi village is possible via Makris Gialos where the road is well-built overlooking the sunset. The name \u201cPefkoi\u201d derives from the Greek word \u201cPefko\u201d which means trees in abundance in the area.
\nThe \u201cCretan Quality Label\u201d is awarded to restaurants that offer Cretan Cuisine and use Cretan virgin olive oil and local products.
\nIt constitutes an acknowledgement of quality of the services offered regarding food in relation to Cretan Cuisine and is given by the civil non-profitable company \u201cCretan Quality Label\u201d comprising a competitive advantage and a powerful tool that promotes all the companies that focus on mass food production.
\nThe \u201cCretan Quality Label\u201d awarded the Quality Label to the company \u201cPeperia\u201d, which is located in the prefecture of Lasithi in the village Pefkoi since the process of certification was successfully completed (inspection, corrective procedures, complete compliance with the standards of certification).<\/p>\n
