Evia


The family team catches and cooks its own fresh fish at this beautifully located seafood-starring taverna, with check-cloth tables dotted around a shady roadside terrace, 3.5km southeast of Limni en route to the Galataki convent. Mezedhes (appetisers) run from tzatziki and taramasalata (fish-roe puree) to potato salad, and there are plenty of meat-rich mains, too.
