Petromilos Kritis
Producer of traditional Rusks
A family heritage since 1930
Located in Tympaki, in the south of Crete, Petromilos Kritis is a family-run business that has been perpetuating traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation for three generations. Founded in 1930 by the Grinyarakis grandparents, the bakery is now run by their grandchildren, who combine ancestral know-how with contemporary demands.
The wood-fired oven: the beating heart of tradition
