Karpathos


Smart and efficient, this quayside taverna near the ferry jetty serves authentic Karpathian specialities such as makarounes (homemade pasta with caramelised onions and cheese). It's known for sourcing local products where possible. Most meat mains cost under €12, and a whole grilled fish is more like €13 to €15.
