Platanos Restaurant
Πλάτανος
A long-established restaurant opened in 1979, dining on the old town's central square under the Hippocrates Plane Tree.
Opened in 1979 in a Venetian-style building from 1935 on Platanos Square. During World War II it was an Italian officers' club. Across the square are the Hippocrates Plane Tree and the Castle of the Knights. Open all day, from breakfast to late night, with brunch through dinner. The menu blends Greek and Mediterranean flavors. Diners recommend the slow-cooked lamb shank with bulgur, a reimagined moussaka, beef cheeks, and lemon-fish risotto. Live jazz often plays in the evening. Walk-ins can usually be seated without a reservation, and the average spend is about 15–28 euros per person. The views are more memorable than the food.
