This old-school taverna, with Santorini-blue walls decked in vintage diving photos and antique mirrors, is as pretty as it is friendly. Sure, it is a tourist magnet, but it has good souvlakia, meatballs and roast lamb, not to mention fresh octopus, sea bream and Symi shrimp. Why not try the lot, with a mixed seafood plate for two (€35)?
It's hidden in a backstreet, a block behind the waterfront.
