In the larger towns, tavernas rub shoulders with international restaurants, pizzerias and fast food joints, while in the villages restaurants are more traditional. Freshly caught fish and seafood feature on many menus. Sample a traditional mezze of appetisers or Greek salad and follow with the Greek favourites of mousakka or calamari with for dessert. Be sure to try the local wine with your meal - the Golden Samena in particular is excellent.
