Seven St. Georges Tavern

In the village of Yeroskipou, George cooks from his own garden and forages the rest. No menu, just what is in season: wild greens, pickled capers and slow-cooked meats.

Anassa

On a quiet bay near Polis, built like a Byzantine village with a private beach and one of the best spas in the Mediterranean. For a slow week, it is hard to beat.
