A long established family taverna
You can still go in and choose your meal from the trays of traditional dishes on display in the kitchen
The setting
Tables right on the sea
K with our neighbours, 86 year old Vaso and her son Vangelis
This is Vaso's favourite place to eat, enjoy a beer and smoke a cigarette or 2
K and I shared grilled sardines
Vaso likes baked aubergine with tomatoes and onion and a pile of fries
Nice and soft on old gums lol
One of the 4 (probably more) taverna cats. We couldn't feed them
because the fish bones, and most leftovers, leave an oily stain on the
decking. The owner looks after them
We take a chilly bin (eskie, ice box) with a couple of ice packs when we do serious shopping in the summer. We never know who we will meet and shopping does not last long in this heat, and I'm not talking about icecream. A bag of grated cheese has melted back into a block by the time we reach home. That's without stopping for a coffee or a chat.
We are in the middle of a heatwave again but it's supposed to be a short one. 3 or 4 days.
I think that would quickly become my favourite place too 😎
ReplyDeleteWhen you can sit right on the beach and with trees for shade instead of an umbrella or awning it's perfect. And the chairs are big, plastic, wicker. Bring your own cushion lol
DeleteThose grilled sardines look delicious, and what a wonderful setting to eat them in.
ReplyDeleteThis is a taverna we don't usually go to. Neighbours choice and it was just right. K gave his stamp of approval to the sardines s
DeleteWhat a beautiful place to dine, a sea view surrounded by kitties :)
ReplyDeleteHope your weather is not too hot !
Hugs,
Jo
The heat is just the usual for summer. Not too bad thank goodness
Deletei think I'd have to go there these days just to get a kitty-fix.
ReplyDeletePlenty of cats around. Everywhere. Quite a few distant Tigger relatives 😊
DeleteIt all looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteSummer days!
DeleteWe have a portable esky that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It’s a mini fridge. That food is making me drool but the views make me very jealous.
ReplyDeleteMum has early dementia. She’s only going to get worse
Oh Angela. Sorry to learn about your Mum. Darn! It's going to he hard for you
DeleteWe have one of those eskies. Don't know why we don't used that!! I'd forgotten about it
I have never tasted octopus but one of these days . . .
ReplyDeleteOctopus isn't very fishy. Can be be rubbery if not cooked properly. Excellent with olive oil, lemon juice and oregano.
DeleteYou need a good cook and a glass of ouzo 😋
I would have chosen the Octopus, but grilled Sardines come a close second.
ReplyDeleteYou could've had both of those here. And some cold retsina 😃
DeleteYou've got to have a chilli bin over Summer, the old fashiones ones are the best. the Warehouse still sells chilli bins here. It's good the cats get looked after.
