Ston Pyrgo
Στον Πύργο
A family café-bar near the ancient tower in Arkesini, in the south of Amorgos. Wood-fired black bread and eggs with cured pork are its highlights.
Located in the village of Agia Triada in Arkesini, in the south of the island, about 100 metres from an ancient tower dating back roughly 2,350 years. The Roussos family opened it in 2015 for their eldest daughter, who trained as a cook. It's a traditional café that also serves bar snacks. Signature dishes include wood-fired seven-times-fermented black bread, eggs fried with local cured pork (kavourma), stuffed cabbage leaves, slow-baked chickpeas and braised goat. There's shaded outdoor seating and a homey atmosphere. It's a good stop on the way to the southwest beaches, and you'll need a car.
