The traditional tavern of Kritikos is famous for its large and low budget portions. The meat is really great and the starters are tasty. The place is very simple so don't expect a great atmosphere. Be patient with the service and have some cash with you since they don't accept payments with cards.

It is a great place to take a break when exploring Oia. You can taste their homemade sweets or just drink a coffee while enjoying the amazing view. Tip: If the upper terrace is full of people try the small balcony they have in the basement. It is not visible from the street so it is more likely to find a free table.

Tivvjaġġa bit-tfal
It is really difficult to use a stroller inside the traditional alleys.
The traditional alleys can get narrow at some points, they have stairs and they are made of small pebbles. So it is impossible to use a stroller. Also, they can get really crowded during the summer season, it even becomes difficult for pedestrians to move around.
Modi kif tiffranka
Use the local bus service to save money from your transports.
The local buses are modern, comfortable, fully-airconditioned and during the summer season, the routes are really frequent. You can use them to reach most parts of the island. The price ticket varies for each route but is in general very affordable.

Depart for the airport/ port in time.
The island might be small but during the high season, traffic can get really horrible. So depart from your location in time in order to reach your destination.
