| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 Set inside a vaulted Venetian-Ottoman bathhouse on a Splantzia back lane, Tamam has cooked a singular Cretan-Levantine kitchen since 1982. Wild greens, slow lamb, Iranian-spiced rice and Cretan cheeses arrive with the patina of a true institution rather than a tourist set-piece. The stone room and the depth of the recipes are the draw, not a harbour view.
