The narrow warren of streets in the neighborhood opposite the fisherman's wharf of Kumkapi are crowded with restaurants which have staked their claim to individual patches of cobblestone. The atmosphere combines food and fun in a lively villagelike setting, where celebration and sometimes dancing accompany all the seafood you care to eat. Pick your poison (so to speak) by choosing a restaurant, and dig in.
