"Keramos studios is a traditional pension located in the heart of Zaros, a picturesque traditional village
at the plain of Psiloritis Mountain, featured with natural springs and a small lake. It's a traditional family
guesthouse where the visitor can enjoy the Cretan hospitality and the best breakfast in Crete made according
to grandma's recipes.
Landlady Katerina prepares the breakfast herself using pure products right from the family farm: eggs,
olive oil and cheese myzithra, made by goat's milk. Myzithra is the main ingredient of the famous cretan pies.
You will have the chance to taste more than twenty kinds of pies; cheese pie, pepper pie, hunt pie and other traditional ones such as sarikopita, tzoulama, kaltsounia and many more.
We can also offer you yoghurt with wheat, elliniko kafe greek coffee and Cretan tea made of mountain herbs. Katerina's breakfast has
