In-Depth Information
The Nest
GREEK $
( 22860 91778; Hora; mains €6-10)
The Nest feel authentic right down to the
rembetika
music and the tables of older men deep in discussion over rounds of
raki
. This is where
local families dine, and with good reason. Local garlic sausage, chicken souvlaki, stuffed
eggplant and lamb
keftiko
are served with bowls of tzatziki, olives and fresh bread. Wine
is served by the jug and the veggies come from the owner's garden.
Elia
GREEK $
( 698 3192650; Hora; mains €7-10; dinner)
Elia exudes wholesomeness. With a smatter-
ing of photos on the walls, it has a classy, country farmhouse feel. Small enough to be in-
timate, it will wow you with modern Greek meals like tenderloin with plums and figs,
shrimp
saganaki
with white cheese, cured beef pies and salads sprinkled with Parmesan
and cranberries. To find Elia, head towards the main square and take the first turning to
the right.
Thai Smile
THAI $
( 22860 91925; mains €7-9; dinner)
Ignore the international dishes and go for the au-
thentic Thai food. This hole-in-the-wall has plenty of atmosphere and serves plates over-
flowing with phad king, musaman curry and jasmine rice.
Ali Baba's
THAI $
(Hora; dishes €7-12; dinner)
As popular for its upbeat atmosphere as for its food, this
friendly, long-standing restaurant dishes up Thai food and cocktails served in fishbowls.
Opt for the garden courtyard. It's on the same street as the Emporiki bank.
Katogi
MEZEDHES $$$
( 6983440900; mains €6-12; dinner)
This place is full of life. Stepping into it is like
being welcomed into a party in someone's living room, where bright, homy decor flows
into a gorgeous garden. And the food is divine. Try pork bites in honey sauce, spicy
shrimp and marinated anchovies, tortilla rolls stuffed with slow-cooked beef or pasta
purses with cheese and pear.
Lord Byron
MEDITERRANEAN $$$
( 22860 92125; dishes €7-14; dinner; )
An explosion of colour and quirky decor, this
laid-back, lively restaurant is as pleasing to the stomach as it is to the eye. Enjoy huge
portions of creative salads and mains, with specials like pasta with smoked salmon and
creamy dill sauce or beetroot salad with feta bruschetta. Order wine by the glass or ouzo
by the gram. Service gets five stars.
