Barba Yorgo Taverna
Barba Yorgo Tavernası
A long-established taverna at the entrance to Tepeköy village, facing the vineyard. Opened in 1996, it is known for slow-roasted goat and house-made wine.
Founded by Barba Yorgo, a native of Tepeköy, the taverna has operated since 1996. Today guests dine under a pergola facing the vineyard at the village entrance, and the owner, in his eighties, often walks between the tables. The signatures are slow-roasted goat (oğlak tandır), thinly sliced fried lamb liver and seafood cold platters, served with five wines made from the taverna's own vineyard. Cuttlefish stew (sübye yahni) is said to be made only here. Live music starts around 8 pm. Prices are on the high side, so book ahead for summer dinners. The taverna is about 11 km from the island centre, so you will need a car or a taxi.
