In particular, next to the expensive and award-winning restaurants, seafood lovers will find several quaint fish taverns with great experience, serving fresh, grilled and fried fish at affordable prices and within a stone’s throw from the sea.

“Tzitzikas” in Porto Koufo

The enclosed bay in the traditional fishing village of Porto Koufo is an ideal fishing shelter for local fishermen. They unload their fresh catch directly here and the owners of “Tzitzikas” always get the very best. Try the married sardines (grilled stuffed sardines), grilled octopus, fried mussels and their specialty, the luscious shrimp pasta.

“Stelios” in Toroni

For years, Toroni has been widely known, not only for the staggering beauty of its homonymous beach, but also for the amazing experience of Stelios’ fish tavern. Tables right next to the golden sand and locally caught fresh fish and seafood. Don’t miss the delicious grilled sardines, the crispy fried squid and the plump mussels. Depending on the catch of the day you may find fresh bass, mullet or roach.
