The setting of this taverna is divine, overlooking the Agios Dimitris church and the main square with its memorial fountain. Head to the raised terrace sheltered by lofty trees with pots of geraniums adding splashes of scarlet. Haloumi with eggs and potatoes, a delicious minty village salad and a belly-filling meze are among the culinary treats. Portions are huge.
