Excellent view, excellent taverna.

Come and live in the newly renovated appartments. You have the spectacular view to the beautiful mountains and to the sea so very nearby, that you can hear the waves. Come and eat Jenny and Annas food cooked in the traditional karpathian style - if you know anything about good food you will know this is the best. As a guest you are met with the friendliest warmth of this family. Ole and Birgitte, Denmark

The perfect place to relax with Great Hosts

The location of the studios of Blue Swan is the best in Lefkos, offers stunning view to the mountains and to the Potali bay. Close enough to hear the sea waves from the balcony. Potali bay and Lefkos beach are within walking distance. We felt at home right from the beginning. The taverna serves the best cooked meats (lamb, pork, stews), grilled fish, stuffed vegetables even for a gourmet visitor. The Owners are really welcoming, friendly and super thoughtful. We felt sincere hospitality. The rooms are basic with wooden furniture -all with sea view terraces or balconies- and the daily cleaning is more than enough. It was our best vacation ever!

Delicious home cooking and stunning view

We've been to a few Greek islands in our time and to lots of tavernas. But this nice friendly family taverna just back from the bay was really one of the best. Our hostess Jenny hails from Sydney (from Botany Bay to Potoli Bay ha ha!). All home cooking, fresh fish straight off the boat. Don't bother with the menu - they'll show you what's on that day. Friendly service involving all the family. Great.

Best Traditional Karpathian Studios

Great lovely and peacefull place. I have visited the Blue Swan for the last 15 years. Still, every time feels special. The Notaras family is very welcoming and warm, something that even a 5star hotel would never be able to offer. The rooms are basic, but clean. With a great view over Potali Bay. The traditional food in the tavern is great. They have a daily changing menu of traditional Karpathian dishes, but classics like tzatziki, greek salad and fish from the grill are available every day. Blue Swan is still the same place that i visited as a young boy. Quiet and peacefull with great food.

Best meal on karpathos?

If I only had one greek restaurant meal left in life - I would have it at the Blue Swan Taverna. Home cooked, home grown or home caught (in the case of fish obviously) - this taverna is Karpathos at its best. As with many tavernas it looks simple to the northern european eye - and it IS simple but in the best meaning of that term: Just a covered concrete terrace overlooking the bay with maybe 10 tables, run by the family that owns it, serving classic greek/Karpathos food. Food that is cooked with love and great skill. Of course this requires that you venture a bit outside the safe tourist paths like souvlaki with french fries (nothing wrong with that dish, but....) - I'm sure you will be invited to the kitchen to see and choose for yourself.
