Zorba’s

Kythira


Nothing seems to have changed at this Hora institution for at least 60 years and it's now so retro that it could make the hipster generation giddy with excitement. Fortunately, though, the family who runs it isn't interested in such things and cares only about serving quality grilled meats, including the house special: Kythira sausages swaddled in local herbs.

It's halfway down the main alleyway, not far off the square.
