Eat
Marco Polo
( Agíou Fanouríou 40–42,
Old Town, tel: 22410 25562) The most
creative cooking in the Old Town is at this
enchanting garden-restaurant, part of the
acclaimed boutique inn of the same name.
The seafood dishes are the stars of the show,
but the wine list is exceptional (though the
house barrelled is fine, too), and do save room
for their decadent desserts. You’ll need to book
during peak season – but it’s worth it for a
fantastic night out.
