Orea Karpathos
Ωραία Κάρπαθος
Long-standing family taverna on Pigadia harbour, where handmade pasta with onions and cheese is called the best on the island.
This small taverna sits on Pigadia harbour and is one of the town's oldest restaurants. A family has run it for more than thirty years: the mother cooks while the husband and sons look after guests. It specialises in Karpathian home cooking. Handmade pasta with local soft cheese and fried onions is often called the best on the island, and other dishes include pickled artichokes from the family garden, stuffed vine leaves, stewed pork, fried meatballs and local sausage. Seats overlook the harbour and the sunset. Reserve ahead in high season or arrive early. Prices are slightly higher than at most other island tavernas.
