Meraklis
Tsimandrion Square, hosting an annual panigyri (church-centered fiesta of traditional live music and food) every August 15, ishome to Meraklis, a grill and taverna run by the Kotsinadellis family. It has maintained a tradition covering many decades. If lucky, you may get to hear Thanassis Kotsinadellis, a widely travelled family member, sing and play his lyra (stringed instrument played with a bow). He, and the rest of the team, Noula, Marina, Giorgos, Betty and Nasos, offer what is possibly the most delicious skewered pork pancetta you will ever get to taste.

Children’s Toys and Books Museum
A stroll around the old port of Myrina will lead you to the Permanent Exhibition on the History of Children’s Toys and Books, launched late in July and situated on Poseidonos St. This is a project spearheaded by archaeologist and writer Hristos Boulotis, who conceived the idea for the museum back in 1978. His collection will take older visitors back to childhood memories and also fascinate youngsters through the museum’s presentation of the evolution of toys. The museum tour, offered by the founder, himself, makes for a unique and unforgettable experience.
