Full description

Diporto is a budget-friendly Greek eatery that reviewers describe as extremely local and fully traditional, with food that feels like a home-cooked meal. There is no written menu, so you rely on what is brought out, and one visitor was given bread, salad, fava soup and chickpeas.

Service is often described as gruff, particularly toward visitors photographing everything, while locals receive a warmer welcome. Opening hours lean towards daytime, with a morning-to-late-afternoon window on weekdays and a midday start on Saturday.

Booking is not taken, so expect to simply turn up.
