TAVERNA
This gem of a taverna near the railway line is a little off the beaten track but is worth the
cab fare (the area can be sketchy at night). The menu has Cretan influences and an eclectic
selection of regional Greek cuisine, including dishes you won't find in any tourist joint,
from superb rooster with ouzo to lamb
tsigariasto
(braised) with
horta
(wild greens). Dine
outside at tables opposite a church.

TAVERNA
Home-made village-style bread, mismatched retro crockery and brown-paper tablecloths
set the tone for this trendy, modern taverna serving regional Greek cuisine. Friendly staff
serve daily specials such as lemon lamb with potatoes, and an excellent zucchini and avo-
cado salad.
