Kalymnos Island, Greece.
The taverna “Pandelis”, in a tiny square directly behind the Olympic Hotel on the waterfront, does not have a wide choice, but what is offered is prepared well—with care and attention to freshness, lightness and flavour.
The ouzeri “Sphoungaras”, in an alley behind the Emporiki Bank (where Patr. Maximou Street meets the promenade) has excellent mezé, and is crowded with locals at lunch time.
Around the island— both “Popy”s” at Vathýs, and “Akti” in a delightful setting at Emboreió, are good for fresh fish dishes.
