Join the locals at this cheery alleyway restaurant just back from the central waterfront for beautifully home-cooked Greek mainstays such as octopus in red wine sauce, creamy spanakorizo (spinach and rice), grilled halloumi with tomato jam, and country salads featuring local produce and olive oil. Genial owner Kyriakos is a regular at the summer wine festival, bouzouki in hand.
