Wine Bar & Brunch
Brunch from eleven. Wine from the afternoon. Open to everyone.
The courtyard
Apokoronou street is a pedestrian lane two and a half metres wide. Nothing on the street gives away what lies behind the gate.
Sekeria sits in the inner courtyard of an 1880s mansion, between a Venetian stone fountain and an Ottoman sadirvan.
It is open to everyone, not only to hotel guests.
Brunch
From eleven, the courtyard works as a café. Brunch is served at an unhurried pace, built on Cretan produce.
The wine
From the afternoon, the courtyard becomes a wine bar.
The list is chosen with care and centres on Greek, and above all Cretan, vineyards. The emphasis is on small growers and on labels that are hard to find elsewhere, such as The Cultist from the Thalassinos winery.
Served by the glass or by the bottle.
On the plate
Every label comes with dishes that show it at its best.
Boards of local cheeses and cured meats, bruschettas, handmade ravioli and small plates to share.
The water
Two water structures survive in the courtyard.
The monumental stone fountain, roughly five metres by three, follows Venetian forms: Renaissance elements carried into a nineteenth-century building. Beside it, an intricate circular sadirvan, the Ottoman fountain.
Two traditions, two aesthetics, the same water.
