Along
with very good grills and fresh pasta served in a convivial environment, owner-cooks
Makis and Eleni bring in fresh seafood daily and cook up good classic dishes. Local mu-
sicians often end the night here, with guitar or bouzouki in hand (and possibly a glass of
the tasty house wine or some homemade
tsipouro
).

Yes, it's on the main square
(read obvious). And ok, it caters to group travel (read touristy). But this charming place,
run by a third-generation family and housed in a stunning building displaying bits and
pieces from a bygone era, is a lovely spot for local dishes. You file past the pots in the
kitchen and choose what you want.
Panorama

mains €8-12)
It's a large place (which is a bit overwhelming if
you're eating alone), but true to its name, it offers beautiful vistas. The cuisine is excel-
lent, especially the grills. The lamb in paper is worth trying.
