Possibly the best meal on the island???
I could seriously kick myself (if I didn’t already have a broken toe) for not taking my camera with me when we went out to eat last night. We went to the Ditropo Restaurant, which is in Ditropon, with a friend Rosie who has a house she’s renovating over here and who is going back to England today.
The Restaurant only opens at 7.00 in the evening and they also have a cafe and a shop on the same site. James Villas also have two rental properties there and if you’re going to stay in one of them, you must eat in the restaurant.
So, let me set the scene. We arrived as the sun was setting which gave a lovely sight of a beautiful redness sinking down behind the hills and into the sea. Being away from Skopelos Town, it’s quieter and feels more relaxed and eating outside was lovely and cool. The menu is pretty comprehensive and it’s not cheap but the food and the presentation are excellent. We ordered (omitting the one meaty thing Sean had) aubergine salad (which was actually like a dip and was so beautifully flavoured), vegetable balls, stuffed vine leaves, stuffed pumpkin flowers, summer salad and a greek salad (last two not vegan due to cheese). The flavours were delicate and each dish had its own distinct taste. Absolutely delicious.
To add to the general ambience, there was live music too with two guitarists which, of course, junior greatly enjoyed. A very pleasant evening out.
We’ll be going again towards the end of the season next month to discuss doing a brochure and this time I promise I’ll take the camera!
