Taverna Platanos

Rhodes


It’s worth braving Lahania’s ultranarrow lanes to reach this classic village taverna, tucked behind Agios Georgios church and famed throughout the island. With its traditional decor and flower-filled patio, it’s a great place to take a break. Lamb baked with lemon costs €13.50, while hearty beef or goat stews are €10.50, and salads and dips less than half that.
