Το Παραδοσιακό — Restaurant in Municipality of Karpathos

I have been coming to Karpathos for 20 years and as a result I am the chief expert on all food related topics on this island. If you come to Karpathos then you MUST come here. This restaurant has the best taverna style food on the island. You can enjoy quality, traditional home made dishes with a view of the MOST beautiful village in Karpathos, Aperi (I am right on this). You can not say you have visited Karpathos unless you have eaten at Το Παραδοσιακό....

Yet another scam of ‘locals’ vs. ‘visitors’.

The food, the owner, the view were all top notch! I can’t say enough about the kindness and warmth with which I was greeted. The regular patrons were also awesome, as I got invited to chat with some older gentlemen at their table as I was leaving. A lot of history in that place. I highly recommend this restaurant! BTW, the dish I ordered was recommended to me by the owner, grilled chicken with a lemon...
