Renowned throughout Andros as the island's best 'meatery', O Kossis is located in the middle of nowhere, in the hills above Gavrio, signposted beyond Epano Fellos. Attached to a farm and festooned with vines, this family-run taverna's speciality is melt-in-your-mouth lamb chops, though diners swear by its other meaty delights as well.
