Distinct among the local specialties is patatato (goat casserole in tomato sauce), which apart from traditional taverns you will also find it to be served at local festivals and other events such as weddings and baptisms.
Very good too is also the local red semi-sweet wine and raki that locals serve with dried figs.
On celebration days they offer xerotigana (dumplings with honey) and pasteli (the traditional sweet of the Cyclades, made of sesame seeds and honey).
