With its delicious local dishes, stunning beachside location and relaxed atmosphere, family-run taverna Oh Hammos is one of the most in-demand dining spots on the Greek island of Milos.
Footsteps from Papikinou Beach and only a kilometre from Adamas Port, Oh Hammos is ideally located for those on a luxury yacht charter who want a true taste of traditional Milos fare.
A vine-covered walkway opens onto a large terrace with a luscious shaded canopy, vibrant bougainvillea and hanging kitchen utensils. And adding to the charming setting are quaint wooden chairs and tables covered with floral tablecloths.
Handwritten menus provide another unique touch, while all the serving dishes, plates and mugs are handmade from red terracotta pottery and inscribed with the restaurant’s name.
Oh Hammos continues to excel itself, sending mouth-watering dishes made from fresh, local ingredients out of its kitchen. The cheese and meat are even produced on the owner’s nearby farm, meaning an authentic farm-to-fork dining experience is in store for diners.
For starters, enjoy the crisp and colourful horiatiki (Greek salad) smothered in creamy feta or the sumptuously rich baked cheese and courgette. Meze options are available too, and can even be enjoyed while basking in the sun on Papikinou Beach.
Must-try mains include pitarakia tis Giagias (Grandma’s cheese pies), melitzana boulouka (aubergine stuffed with lamb and goat meat and baked in the oven with lots of cheese) and agriokatsiko sti hovoli (slow roasted wild goat and potatoes).
Leave room for dessert, though, especially the portokalogluo – a cake-like Greek filo pastry filled with orange and chocolate. Craft beers and local wines are also on the menu, and the owner Athina is often on hand mingling and mixing with his guests.
