  4. Art Cafe Liotrivi

    You might spot the owner-artist George's paints and brushes on the counter at this handsome 200-year-old seaside café on the old harbour. Half taverna and half museum, its excellent dishes range from simple olives and dolmadhes to shrimp flambé and mussels in tomato sauce.

  5. Albatross

    You could write the menu of this sweet six-table taverna, near the Church of Agios Nikolaos, on the back of a postage stamp, but the generous offerings of mezedhes along with a few ready-made dishes like baked cod or roasted pork are always tasty and cheap.
