Dionysos Fiesta

Top choice in Karpathos


Run by the ultrafriendly Irini, and set in a restored traditional house, in the twisting village lanes just up from the main road, this relaxed and welcoming taverna spreads onto a raised garden terrace. Sit under the shade of the lemon tree and enjoy the likes of lemon chicken, artichoke omelettes and succulent Karpathian sausages.
