Chora

Platanos

Front and center in Kairi Square, the main spot of Chora, It’s next to the arch ‘Camara’ that leads to the old town. This non pretentious mezetholpoleo is always busy, and dishes out meat or seafood platers for 2,4 or 8 people. These are usually accompanied by ouzo or beer and locals camp here whiling away the hours. Those in the know forego the platters and order the local sausage, Andriot cheese and olives.
