Lesvos


Sweet in every sense of the word, this cafe in the main square of Andissa is a wonderful place to stop for a cup of Greek coffee with a spoon sweet – a piece of caramelised seasonal fruit or vegetables, from figs to cherry tomatoes and even aubergines. Traditional taverna food is also on offer.
