Omalos is a small Cretan village in the Chania region. The Greek word Omalos means even, plain, regular or smooth, referring to the plateau. The area has a long history background and it was one of the few areas that the Turks were never able to penetrate during the Ottoman occupation in Greece. The area is full of tavernas offering traditional Greek and Cretan recipes in very good prices, cooked with local products. In the winter, the plateau is usually covered in snow, however, it is always easily accessible through the Chania-Sougia road.
