Muses Taverna (Hera) in full
Muses is the taverna of Hotel Muses at Koukounaries, run by the same family since 1988. The cooking is genuinely traditional and made to order: lamb chops, prawn souvlaki, seafood spaghetti and meatballs in tomato sauce, with house wine at around €5 per half-litre.
It rates 4.0 across 135 Tripadvisor reviews — respectable rather than remarkable, and a figure that looks low against nearly four decades of continuous family trading.
The naming problem is worth flagging as a live example of a wider issue. Tripadvisor lists it as Muses Taverna; guests and the hotel call it Hera. Same venue, two names, and anyone searching for one will not find the reviews attached to the other.
