Plaka Review
Crisp white furnishings accented by striking shades of blue provide the perfect background for outstanding Greek fare. Start by ordering lots of appetizers like pita with hummus, grilled baby octopus, or sheftalia (a spicy sausage from Cyprus). Main course recommendations include traditional dishes such as kleftico (lamb shank slow roasted on the bone) and moussaka (an eggplant and ground meat dish), although the seafood options won't disappoint either. Efficient service and a notable wine list round out a great experience.
