With bouzouki music and salt breeze wafting over its thyme-topped tables, the friendliest of Kastellorizo’s quayside restaurants also serves the best food. Everything from the squid-ink risotto and calamari stuffed with feta is made in-house. Mezedhes (appetisers) are full of vim and superfresh. Treat yourself to lamb on the spit or whatever goat dish is being offered.
