Frommer's Review

With its white tablecloth and candlelight, the elegant Korsan, located next to the harbor, is popular among the local community of British expatriates as well as with visitors splurging on a special meal. One glance at the menu and it's obvious that this isn't going to be another banal meal of grilled lamb and green chilis. Choosing among the many mouthwatering mezes is possibly the most significant decision you will make during your vacation, with selections like chicken sis with peanut sauce, fish cakes with pine nuts and berries, and humus with melted chili butter. By the time you fill up on the complimentary fresh-baked garlic bread and two or three appetizers, there is sadly no room for the Black Sea-style baked lamb in a pastry crust with mint or the barbecue fish kebap. Even the kids will be happy, with Korsan's special, less exotic children's menu. The sister restaurant, Korsan Fish Terrace, is on the rooftop of the owner's small hotel/pension, Patara Stone House (tel. 0242/844-3076), located just above the harbor.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
