While the name means 'the little lobster', there's nothing diminutive about the quality here. Hospitable John will sit you under the shaded pergola and serve up everything from his award-winning lobster and spaghetti to goat stifhado (goat stew with a lemon sauce). Or you can relax on the Sxoinontas Beach and order simpler snacks and refreshments. Pretty. And perfect.
