Faros Taverna

Dodecanese


Friendly Roula runs a tip-top taverna here that sits out on the eastern end of the beach, a half hour walk from Livadi. Expect fresh seafood and changing traditional Greek dishes (all excellent). But in truth, you'd be happy eating sand, such is the gorgeous setting, under a shady, bougainvillea-covered terrace with a view of miles of ocean and coast.
