Super-sized, deliciously traditional island cooking rooted in home-grown organic produce is the star at sprawling Mouries, whose soothing terrace sits beneath mulberry trees planted by owner Manolis' grandfather, 6.5km south of Skyros Town. Goat in lemon is a signature favourite, while terrific veggie bites wander from perfect salads and Skyrian feta to creamy fava mopped up with pillowy bread.
The sight of Skyrian horses on the family's farm across the road is unforgettable, and the taverna interior is adorned with creative horse-themed artworks.
