  2. Drakos Taverna

    Enjoy reasonably priced fish dishes (although some species are by the kilogram) at this popular taverna that overlooks the sea at the southern end of the beach. Whatever's on the dish, you get the feeling that it may well have hopped straight from the water into the kitchen and then onto your plate.

  3. Lord Byron

    Near the main square, this long-standing favourite is relaxing and intimate and the food is a great fusion of Greek and Italian. Dishes range from shrimp cooked in a tomato sauce with feta and ouzo to penne with a wild mushroom and cream sauce - and it all comes in generous helpings.
