Where to have lunch on the go Iles grecques

An associative place, a sort of cooperative, offers a few tables inside and on the terrace. You can drink a very good coffee and enjoy some good, classic dishes. The menu is not very big but it will be enough to calm the small cravings after visiting the fortress of Réthymnon, just a few meters higher. In addition to being in a nice street and offering a pleasant and quiet setting, we like even more the idea that we are running a humane place and engaged in social struggles. Smiling and available staff.

Don't necessarily rely on the slightly classic appearance of this establishment from the street, as there is a beautiful terrace at the back, with a view of the sea during the day. Here you can enjoy a hearty breakfast before going to the beach, which is just behind. Also on the menu is a range of snacks and small pleasant dishes for a short lunch break. The desserts are just as good. A good address, practical at any time of the day. Free wireless internet and 4 large TV screens to watch the games.

Not necessarily refined, that's why you're advised to go for a quick snack, share mezzedes for example, or take a gyros. It is especially the setting that is very pleasant, even if in a pedestrian street. The shady terrace allows you to enjoy a pleasant break. Service and proper atmosphere. A little tourist machine but the courtyard and tables on the street offer a profitable framework.

If it were only necessary to remember one souvlaki address in Rhodes, it would be this one, a few meters from Akti Miaouli beach! Certainly, the shop doesn't really look like anything: a boui-boui a little cracks at most. As for the location, in front of a gas station, it doesn't really make you dream. However, it would be wrong to stop at appearances because it is the best pita gyros and one of the best souvlaki in the city. All the ingredients are undeniably fresh, whether it's the meat itself, the bread, or even the tzatziki!

Chances are you'll stop by every day if you linger here for a while. Margarita offers excellent homemade cakes and hearty, tasty breakfasts of omelette and incredible creamy Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit. All day long you can also have snacks, sandwiches, salads... The atmosphere is friendly and you will want to come back for sure! This is also where locals sit and watch the world go by. Let yourself be tempted and forget the time for a few moments...

Stelios installs his little colourful caravan every year on Eristos beach. A small Zen paradise, we settle around the hammock tree and spend the day reading and swimming, between two strikes, a good omelette for breakfast and simple but successful snacks (including some very good hamburgers). In the evening, the place comes alive with all the beach campers who come for a drink: beers and cocktails are shared, often around a moment of music with their feet in the sand and Stelios takes care of everyone.

This snack bar is obviously an invitation to a snack, such as a pita or a club sandwich. However, we particularly appreciate its free deckchairs on the beach and its great tranquility. On this relatively unused part of the waterfront, swimming while you are being prepared a coffee shake or a fresh soda is a wonderful luxury at a very low price (2 € the coffee with its small bottle of water!).

This small traditional grocery store offers very good products of the best quality you can enjoy on the few tables made available to the shop. Salty bouts are also offered every day. To watering home lemonade or ouzo, depending on time and envy.

Translate the name of the restaurant as "cooking with love". In this tiny place of only a few tables, we choose our dishes in a showcase before they are brought to the table. Sofia, the owner, welcomes us in her restaurant as if we were at home. Traditional family cooking, copious and really delicious. If the place is a bit difficult to find, it is well worth the detour. Don't give up and make the small effort to find it.

For a good espresso, morning, noon or evening. Good wifi too.
