Don't understand why Zorbas only gets a 5 out of 10 rating when it has so many good reviews. We've recently spent 2 weeks in Alykes and ate at Zorbas for 5 of the 14 nights. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly, and the food was gorgeous. I particulary liked the chargrilled chicken with garlic mushrooms and the lamb kleftika. My boyfriend thought their mixed grill was excellent and we both agreed that their baklava was the best we'd had on the island. I'd definitely recommend trying Zorbas early on in your holiday as you may well want to go more than once.

My boyfriend and I ate at Apollos 3 times during our recent 2 week stay in Alykes. I'm sure we'd have eaten there more if we'd discovered it earlier. It's slightly off the beaten track so you may have a little trouble finding it but it's well worth the effort. The greek starter for 2 was so good we had it every time we went. I had the swordfish in shrimp and cream sauce and the chicken apollo, both of which were gorgeous. My boyfriend really enjoyed both their mixed grill and their enormous special mixed grill.

p.s. Apollos is at one of the corners of the salt flats. To find it just walk along the main street out of town and keep walking with the salt flats on your left until you reach the end.
