Lonely Planet review for Yiorgos Hatziparaskos

One of the last traditional filo masters in all of Greece, Yiorgos Hatziparaskos still makes super-fine pastry by hand in his traditional workshop. The highlight is when he throws the dough into a giant bubble before stretching it over a huge table. His wife Katerina encourages passers-by to watch the spectacle and try some of best baklava and kataifi they will ever eat.

    You have not had baklava until you have had Hatziparaskos'

    mikesq recommends this,

    I missed seeing Yiorgos making the filo sheets when I was in Rethymno two years ago. I have been waiting for two year for another trip to Crete to get the chance. The baklava he and his wife Katerina make from his filo is unbelievable.

    Hard to find shop on a side road, but worth the search.
