Edem Garden

Karpathos


One of several village tavernas with a broad mountain-view terrace, smack in the middle of town, check-cloth tables and a menu featuring rural specialities such as makarounes (handmade pasta with onions and cheese), country sausage and local goat stifadho (stew), along with pizzas and salads. If nothing else, it's got a pretty outlook.
