This taverna is a perfect place to just while away a few hours of the afternoon and relax - and that is what many people do there! There is something so peaceful about the place, especially if you are there mid-afternoon, after the lunchtime rush. The waiters don’t bother you, they actually disappear inside and play backgammon, and you can sit there as long as you want under no pressure to leave or order more drinks.

The food at the taverna is well worth a mention as well. The menu is extensive, especially in the peak summer months, with fish and traditional Greek meals as specialties. As is usual for Greek restaurants, there are plenty of choices for meat, but more so here for fish-eaters and plenty of veggie meals too (as long as you are adventurous – many of the veggie things are Greek traditional meals). If a snack is all that is wanted, then the choices, again, are extensive. A personal choice of mine (vegetarian) is the cooked, house-special feta – or something like that. Basically you get a huge lump of feta (goats) cheese marinated in tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables cooked in tin foil in the oven. This is very tasty, extremely filling, and only a few euro! We have eaten at Kouloura many times, and the food is always lovely. One of the highest reasons for going is that the taverna is very popular with Greek families. If the locals are eating there, then the food must be good! On the downside, although the food is very good, it is a little pricey. Starters go from around €2 to 6, and main meals are from €10 to 20. Snacks such as sandwiches are around €2 to 3.
