Rythmos Bar

Dodecanese


Whether you choose a seat on its sun-soaked roof terrace or within its modish interior, this is a cool spot for a midday frappé or sunset glass of vino. Curiously it draws in the old boys as well as a young crowd – and it still works! One of the few places that's open all year.
