‘Alibertos’ means a free spirit –someone unbound– and this philosophy inspired the creation of Alibertos Food & Wine, which opened in 2020 in Kounoupidiana, just outside Chania. Returning to his homeland, sommelier George Badogiannis –with experience in restaurants across Greece and abroad– created, together with his team, a unique destination for those who appreciate fine wine, quality meat, and uncompromising culinary creativity. The walk-in wine cellar, featuring more than 700 labels, offers guests an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
