Sunset restaurant & bar
Erimitis Bar Restaurant

Magazia · The interior & the west cliffs

A restaurant and bar on the clifftop at Erimitis, laid out so that every table faces the sunset over the cliffs. The kitchen gives island traditions a creative turn. Open in the evenings; only the restaurant takes bookings, a card is needed to hold a table, and the bar has little space, so book well ahead in summer and come by taxi.

Bourdeto

The fiery fish stew of the Ionian islands, cooked with plenty of red pepper and onion, often made with scorpionfish.
