Zephyrion

Top choice in Mediterranean Coast


This excellent fish taverna (the name is Greek for ‘sea breeze’) was founded in 1929 and serves first-class fish and seafood on a sweeping blue-and-white terrace overlooking the bay. There is no wine list, but you can bring your own bottle, and it will be uncorked for you without complaint. Beer is available. Everyone along the seafront knows this place.
