海明威在此漁村寫老人與海。此為他垂釣回港與友人把酒笑家常之處 (OSM data version: 2016-07-15T17:38:02Z) #mapsme

This jolly inland spot, with ample seating indoors, or out on a terrace, does two or three casserole dishes per day, but to order those would be to completely miss the point. Ta Gefyria is Lamb Chop Central for Hydra, succulent cuts from free-range flocks on neighbouring Póros. In springtime you can opt for fresh (not canned) beets complete with their greens; bread comes standard as bruschetta, pud will likely be on the house. House rosé wine will be sweet for most tastes; their bulk red is better, and not at all tannic.

An old standby that's maybe not the most cutting-edge or exciting taverna on Hydra, but since the early 1980s (when I first ate here) Lulu has garnered a reputation for consistency and freshness – especially seafood when available, for example 8-inch kalamári (not counting the tentacles) flash-fried to perfection, or grilled sardines – not the biggest portion ever, but tasty. Casserole dishes like bámies (lady-fingers, a bit salty) or runner beans (just right) are the other stock in trade. White wine from the barrel is perfectly quaffable. Tables huddle under three big ficus trees on the outdoor terrace, or there's a pleasant, high-ceilinged interior for cooler weather.

Address: up Vótsi, the shopping street flanking the east side of the cathedral, 100m in from the water
Contact: 00 30 22980 52018
Price: eminently reasonable – you might have change from a 20-euro note for a mains, a starter, and a quarter-litre of wine
Opening times: lunch and dinner daily, except January – February
Reservations: usually not needed
Payment: cash only (OSM data version: 2016-06-01T10:03:02Z) #mapsme

The most creative and reasonable ouzerí on the island, showcasing unusual platters like kritharotó (orzo pasta with oyster mushrooms), krítamo (rock samphire) in late spring and seafood rizotti or makaronádes (marine titbits blended into pasta), as well as the usual fried starters and grilled meat or fish. Portions are big – our crisp-fried shrimp easily fed two – and the only black mark was poor barrel wine (opt for beer, ouzo or bottled wine instead). Token dessert list, though you'll probably be treated to semolina halvá. A limited number of terrace tables are hotly contested, or there's a characterful interior.
