To Stolidi Tis Psinthou

Rhodes


The pick of several appealing lunch spots in the lively main square of Psinthos, 16km southeast of the Valley of the Butterflies. The wooden-beamed interior holds a colourful array of vintage bric-a-brac, and the excellent food comes in huge portions. Be sure to try high-cal, local speciality kapamas – meat, rice, potatoes and herbs all baked together – and the chickpea croquettes.
