The smell of grilled lamb chops, sizzling burgers and grilled calamari wafts down from this long-standing taverna and over Fokos Beach. It's been attracting locals and visitors alike with its creative take on local dishes, including imaginative salads, along with a few exotic touches (ceviche, 'Oriental' rice). You'll need an ATV to brave the rutted road.
