Feeling adventurous? This is a small village, in the middle of nowhere where you can eat (and drink all you want) for 12 euros/person. Ask around for "Koutouki tou Veli" or for Veli's tavern. It should be the crowded one, although the others should offer similar deals. Only for dinner time. Check for the prices before seating.

Located in a beautiful valley, full of trees and peacocks and between the running waters from ...seven(!) springs is one of the most iconic restaurants of the island. If you're not claustrophobic you can walk the tunnel at the dam that leads to the small artificial lake. Oh, and the food is great as well!

The butterfly valley. During early June every tree trunk is covered with thousands of butterflies and you have to be whisper quiet not to disturb them. While later in the summer there are none left, it is still worth a visit for the beautiful trail to the top, where you can rest and eat loukoumades!
