Maria's walls are illustrated with characters from children's fairy tales. This kooky charm extends into the handwritten jotter style menu's.

True to form the food is magical and if the characters could come to life they would surely follow cartoon wafts of delicious food all the way to your table. Pizza's are fantastic with a choice of mozzarella or feta cheese with more or less what ever else you want (the feta one is better). Feta stuffed garlic bread is the best I've ever had and jugs of house red and white are just as good as any of the overpriced bottles.

All this takes place al fresco under the leafy protection of a beautiful Mulberry tree. There is limited seating inside.

Only open at night. Expect to wait for a table at high season. A pizza and salad (both shared between two) + wine came to under €30. There is a great jeweller's/treasure trove next door where you can browse and chat to Harris(the owner) while you are waiting.

Book the honeymoon balcony! It’s perched high up the mill itself. I had a great view of the sunset framing my wife's hair. Good "Euro" food, but almost triple the price of other tavernas.

Do not climb the steps if you have a heart problem, talk in the bar beforehand was of a customer who had a heart attack after the climb up.

Look up to find it. tel: (+30) 2427 024550

Visited in 1999 and it was by far the best restaurant on the Island. Situated in the Old Port, it's a little bit more expensive, but then it's not your average greek grub. Well worth a visit.

Amfliki is near the Health Centre, stunning views and great food, followed on by homemade cherry brandy!

Asprolithos is at the top end of Papadiamante Street, right turn after the cobbles. Not a good view but free ouzo to start with and a free sweet. We had 2 courses each plus wine, about £25. Nice toilets too.

Amfiliki is opposite the Health Centre; tel: (+30) 2427 022 839;
Nearest bus stop: no. 4, Acropolis;
