An unpretentious neighbourhood taverna in the streets behind the south harbour, Averof draws a loyal clientele of locals who want well-executed Greek cooking without the tourist-facing markup of the waterfront restaurants. The menu covers the classics: moussaka, gemista (stuffed tomatoes and peppers), slow-cooked lamb, and fresh grilled fish. The house wine is local and cheap. Service is brisk and friendly. Booking ahead is advisable on summer weekends when every table in town fills up.
