Stamatia's Taverna


Basking in views across sparkling pine-lined Pefkos Bay, with whitewashed wooden tables and a terrace enclosed by stone benches with cushions, always-a-hit Stamatia's rustles up superb daily specials, chilled tsipouro, fine mezedhes (appetisers) and plenty of grilled fresh fish and meat. It's a 6km drive northwest of Linaria.
