Taverna Alexandros in full
Alexandros is tucked into a cobbled side street above the church, and the seating is outdoors under a large old mulberry tree with lights strung through the branches. It is the image people have in their heads when they picture a Greek taverna, and unusually, the reality matches.
There is live traditional Greek music every evening, and it reliably turns into dancing. This is not a polite background-bouzouki arrangement — reviewers describe a genuinely joyful room where the staff and the customers both end up involved. If that sounds like your idea of a nightmare, book elsewhere; if it sounds like the reason you came to Greece, book here.
The food is straightforward, well-executed traditional Greek cooking, with the seafood picked out as exceptional and the ingredients notably fresh. Prices are repeatedly described as great. Tripadvisor's 4.1 and mid-table rank undersell it — the reviews behind that number are overwhelmingly warm, and the score seems to reflect that it is a simple taverna rather than that anything is wrong.
The waiters are fast and efficient even when the place is bursting, which given how full it gets is a real compliment.
