Top-secret Tables

Thalassaki Tinos, Greece

There are many brilliant tavernas dotted across the Greek islands but the tiny Thalassaki on the island of Tinos is a favourite. There are only four tables, but people fly in by helicopter from Athens just to eat there. It’s run by a couple – the wife, Antonia, is in charge of the kitchen. The food is incredible; lots of fresh fish, homemade cheeses and homegrown vegetables and herbs. It is in the bay of Ysternia to the north-west of the island and is literally on the sea. It’s so close to the water that when a big yacht passes by the wake washes over your feet (so make sure you’re wearing shoes that you don’t mind getting wet).
