Taverna Kostas

Taverna Kostas is a traditional Greek taverna at Pythagora 62 in the Old Town of Rhodes, Greece. Pythagora is a street within the walled medieval city of the South Aegean island, and the taverna is known for serving food all day, with listed hours of 09:00 to 23:45 daily. That makes it useful for visitors who arrive off the usual lunch and dinner timetable, such as cruise passengers on a short port call or travellers who want an early breakfast-hour meal before exploring. The cuisine is traditional Greek, covering the standard taverna repertoire: souvlaki, Greek salad and moussaka are the dishes most often associated with it. These are straightforward, filling plates priced in the budget bracket, so the taverna works as a dependable and inexpensive option in a district where many restaurants charge tourist-area prices. The setting is a casual, informal taverna with a relaxed atmosphere; dress is casual and the noise level is moderate, reflecting its position on a busy Old Town street. Service is geared to quick turnover and walk-in custom rather than formal dining. The drinks list follows taverna custom: house wine, local beer, soft drinks and ouzo or tsipouro. Walk-ins are accepted and no reservation is normally needed, though large groups can ask on arrival. The restaurant has a Facebook page used as its main web presence. As elsewhere in the Old Town, the lanes are cobbled and most visitors reach the taverna on foot through one of the medieval gates, after parking or being dropped off outside the walls. In peak summer the street is busy from late morning, while evenings after dusk are cooler and atmospheric with the surrounding stone walls lit.
