Rejoicing in panoramic veranda views of the gulf, Agora is primarily a nice spot for an evening drink, though it also serves very acceptable pizzas and crêpes. The walls are adorned with time-honoured Delphic maxims, originally inscribed on the Temple of Apollo, including ‘Admire Oracles’ and ‘Accept Old Age’.
