As for the mains, there were the usual grills…

Then we saw dishes that haven’t featured on taverna menus, but what international tourists seem to recognise as Greek food – moussaka and lamb in a parcel. Perhaps these dishes are typically cooked at home and so only appear in restaurants for the tourists?

However, my favourite main dish that weekend wasn’t very Greek at all. The prawns were very fresh.

Speaking of Italian food, one taverna (the one where I ate prawn linguine) also had really lovely desserts – panna cotta and a deconstructed cheese cake with soft pillows of ricotta. It was also the one without a view and where the locals seemed to eat.

We liked the place so much we went back a second night. Mmmm….
