Koykos

Rhodes Town


This inviting complex of historic homes, on a pedestrian shopping street, consists of several antique-filled rooms – cuckoo clocks feature strongly – along with pavement patio seating and a bougainvillea-draped courtyard. Best known for fabulous pies (from around €2.30), it also serves classic mezedhes (small plates), plus meat and fish dishes, and a simple coffee or sandwich.
