Tried several restaurants in Kardamena before coming here and never went anywhere else for the rest of our stay. Our party of 6 initially tried lots of different starters but by the last night we were ordering 6 meatballs with yoghurt because they were sublime. The chef even gave me the recipe on the last night, along with some of his own dried herbs, so I could try it at home. Service may not be that fast but who wants to rush in such a beautiful setting? The waiters may not rush but they are polite and friendly. Every main course we tried was delicious and the wine was reasonably priced. Should I ever return to Kardamena I will eat nowhere but Avli. One word of caution; we got there around 7 pm and had no problem getting a table for six but found that it fills up really quickly after 8pm.
