MEZEDHES
This bright and cheery modern
mezedhopoleio
is popular for its delicious and creative
mezedhes, like manouri cheese wrapped in ham and drizzled with honey. The old Greek
deli theme extends from the walls of shelves lined with Greek products to the unique toilet
hand basins.

TAVERNA
For great traditional fare, you can't beat this inconspicuous, no-frills taverna on the peri-
phery of Plaka, with a few tables on the pavement. There's a basic menu but it's best to
choose from the daily specials, which include fresh seafood like prawn
saganaki
. It fills up
quickly with locals, so arrive early.
