Set right over the water, this taverna offers a great variety of fresh, well-cooked fish served in a warm and hospitable environment. The nostalgic ambience of the old port and professional service make for a great dining experience. Try the sea bass, lobster pasta, and fish carpaccio, along with nicely cooked home-style “ladera” (oil-cooked) dishes, which come at attractive prices and well-sized portions. Don’t miss out on the fish a la Spetsiota, a local speciality.

For some of the best fish on Spetses, head to this lively fish taverna with over 70 years of experience. Facing the sea, it draws large crowds throughout the summer and gets a little too busy, so head here earlier in the evening if you prefer a quiet meal. Opt for a variety of succulent seafood mezedes and fresh fish cooked on the spot, in every version possible – fried, roasted or baked, and try the Spetsiota. The menu includes house specialties like fish soup, spaghetti with lobster, and a kind of paella with mussels, shrimp, and crayfish, all at decent prices. Don’t miss the oven-baked dishes, including stuffed eggplant, oven-baked lamb, and roast scorpion fish with tomato and garlic. Save room for the famous desserts, including baklava and baked apple.
