To Ellenikon

Top choice in Karpathos


If you're looking for typical Karpathian food cooked the way it should be then 'the Greek' is your place. Try saganaki (fried cheese), meatballs, shrimp and calamari, served within the wood-accented traditional interior or outside on the narrow terrace. Also offers hefty, more 'international' dishes should you want a change. Owner, Christos, meets and greets and works the floor.
