Where to eat in Sougia cafés & tavernas
We don't cook. We know who does.
AVYSSOS has no restaurant and does not serve breakfast, and we like it that way: Sougia's cafés and tavernas are part of the stay. Mornings first, then evenings, each in the order you meet them as you walk down to the sea. Most open with the season, from spring to autumn.
