About
This is undoubtedly one of the best tavernas on Kos. It's outside the bustling town center on the way to the Asklepion, down a quiet village lane. In the courtyard of this 130-year-old house, you can feast on local dishes from Kos island. The salamura from Kefalos is mouthwatering pork stewed with onions and coriander; the lahano dolmades (stuffed cabbage with rice, minced meat, and herbs) is delicate, light, and not at all oily. The faskebab (veal stew on rice) is tender and lean, while the vegetable dishes, such as the broad string beans cooked and served cold in garlic and olive-oil dressing, are out of this world.
