Karydies Taverna
Ταβέρνα Καρυδιές
A goat specialist under walnut trees in Ano Meria village, offering more than a dozen preparations and ranked the island's top taverna.
Located in the northeastern village of Ano Meria, reached by turning off the road from the north toward Kipoi and climbing a steep hill through wheat fields. It is about 11 km from Therma village. The garden courtyard under walnut trees has a rustic charm. The menu has a dedicated goat section, and a wood-fired oven prepares it more than a dozen ways, including with quince, plum, rosemary, honey, red wine, and wrapped in paper. Braised beans are also available. It is ranked first on the island on TripAdvisor. For two people sharing two goat dishes, beans and wine, expect about €27 per person. It is busy in peak season; some diners report slow service, and some find the goat a bit fatty.
Opening hours
About June–September, daily 12:00–24:00
