Tomato fritters duck the tasting menu
Mama Lena runs a straightforward room in central Imerovigli for diners who want Greek plates without a resort gate or nine-course commitment. Tomato fritters, calamari, Greek salad and chicken souvlaki arrive in familiar portions, with local families sharing the same tables as hotel guests.
There is no reason to chase sunset here. Go for lunch or after the caldera turns dark, share the fried starters and reserve in high season; the compact room can fill when nearby view restaurants price out walk-ins.
