Kivotos

Macedonia


This gloriously situated taverna in Sarti has tables right on the sand and an excellent seafood-dominated menu. Choose from the day's catch, but don't ignore thoughtful specialities from across Greece, or the mouth-watering mezedhes. Effusive owner Daniel is a man who relishes deep conversation, especially if you catch him over a double espresso during a morning lull.
