Step straight off your yacht and into a waterside seat at this taverna run by well-known Kefallonian chef Tassia, who delights diners with her homemade pies, mezedhes and courgette croquettes. Try the 'fisherman’s pasta', incorporating finely chopped squid, octopus, mussels and prawns in a magical combination with a dash of cognac.
