Summer is here and the time is right for sitting on the deep veranda at Plaka opposite Gateway and nibbling on an array of meze (pictured). The menu features more than 30 snacky items, ideal for sharing. Crispy whitebait, slivers of courgette topped with cheese, grilled haloumi, an assertively flavoured Cypriot mince kebab and loukaniko, a pork sausage, are the pick of the bunch.
