The taverns of Milos will allow you to enjoy all the iconic dishes of the Greek cuisine. If you are interested to try everything exactly how the Greeks prepare food for themselves and not for the tourists, then you should look for taverns away from the places where the travelers gather. The more Greek clients in the hall, the greater the likelihood that you are in an institution designed for the local residents. The service here is usually not that quick but the dishes are prepared according to the traditional recipes, without changing anything to please the taste of the tourists. Another very simple way to understand whether you are in a tourist-oriented place or not is to look at the menu. In the taverns, designed for the local residents, there will be no “Greek salad”, because the Greeks themselves call it “home” or “village”.

If you like meat with vegetables, be sure to try the moussaka, eggplant layered casserole, minced meat, and potatoes, seasoned with bechamel sauce.
