For our late lunch we settled at the charming fish taverna on Vathi harbor called Porto-Vathi “Errikos” Taverna. It is right beside the water and has wonderful views of the surroundings. No one can miss this lovely of a restaurant. I made sure that we have a table at the water’s edge. Because it is already after lunch hours, it wasn’t that busy. Perfect.
While waiting for our food to arrive, we were entertained by schools of fishes swimming to and fro. A young kid a few tables from us was having a go with feeding the fishes with bread. It gave us the idea as well so we followed suit. A nice little entertainment as we wait I guess.
Our starter arrived which was a simple and typical Greek dish. Fried vegetables (courgette and aubergine) coated in flour. This was really nice and very light. We enjoyed this a lot, especially the Dutch mother.
Then our lunch arrived. The Dutchman ordered a souvlaki (Greek BBQ on a stick), the Dutch mother settled for some keftedes (Greek meat balls), while I had a serving of fried scampi with thousand island sauce. We could not wait to dig in. The food were all wiped clean from the plates and I heard no one complaining, so this was I guess a successful late lunch.
And oh, a cat had us in company as well. The Dutchman love these sweet fluffy animals and could not stop pampering the puss with little morsels of food. In Greece you will find so many cats!
As for me I cannot get enough of the view and just the ambiance of dining al fresco beside the water. There is some sort of therapy in it that is unexplainable. It is just so relaxing. It makes you forget all the worries you have in the world. Which is why I always look forward to our summer holidays in the Greek islands.
This has been a lovely lunch, now it’s time to laze on the beach and sit back.

Hungry (rather, spoiled perhaps?) fishes. Oi fish, do not get too close or else you might end up on my plate!

I love this shot. It makes me smile.

And my fried scampi lunch with thousand island sauce which we used to dip our fries with. I prefer my seafood garnished with citroen.
