Turn off from the village of Arkesini towards the signposted Tower of Agia Triada (also well worth a visit) and you find this traditional mezedhopoleio (cafe-restaurant specialising in mezedhes), run by young chef Vangelitsa. Terrific home-cooked food, from patatato (slow-cooked goat and potato stew), boiled local greens with lemon, and grilled catch of the day, all shine here.
