Fatolitis Snack Bar

Kalymnos


A favourite with the après-climbing gang, this lively roadside cafe has a vine-shaded terrace and cosy interior spattered with rock posters. The menu isn't great, but it's carb-focused, with the likes of waffles, omelettes and toasties. No one cares much; they're too busy swapping stories over breakfast, lunch or an evening beer.
