The best restaurants Saronic Islands

Tasty dishes served in an idyllic setting, with a patio full of vegetation. There are only a few tables in the pretty little courtyard so it is better to book in the high season. The cuisine is typical but very elaborate. The products are fresh and the menu is very varied. We appreciate both the quality/price ratio and the calm and warm atmosphere and the efficiency of the service. It is authentic and lively, like a Greece that is sometimes difficult to find where tourists are. Frankly, what more could you ask for?

Situated at the end of Askeli beach, this establishment offers a breathtaking view of the sea and the open sea. It is one of the best restaurants on the island. Here you can taste Greek dishes, dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine in its broadest sense and, of course, fresh fish. Greek salad and grilled sardines are still classics, as are grilled meats and fish. Simple and good because everything is fresh: meat, fish, vegetables... The atmosphere is familiar and the service impeccable. Here conviviality is the order of the day.

An effort to combine modernity with tradition inside the building which creates a special atmosphere immediately. The terrace has a lovely sea view. Meals of Greek gastronomy and very good wines à la carte.

This restaurant serves European cuisine in a sophisticated setting.

Stylish and stylish restaurant with tables extending to the wide, along an old pier. Beautiful room and fine cuisine with Greek and Mediterranean flavors. Good wine list: The restaurant also serves as a bar and we come to live live concerts some nights.

In the 1970s, it was home to the legendary Lagoudera club (also known as the Yachting club) frequented by the jet set of the time: Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Maria Callas, Onassis... Today, it is THE gourmet restaurant of Hydra. You will be sure to fall in love with this mythical place clinging to the rocks and with its creative Mediterranean cuisine. Excellent wine list and good choice of cocktails. On weekends, history repeats itself and the restaurant turns into a dance bar.

Restaurant on the edge of the sea on a road along the coast. Greek specialities, seafood. Note: stuffed tomatoes really exquisite!

Ideally located, this restaurant overlooks the magnificent harbor of Hydra. As his name indicates, it is a ritual to contemplate the sunset. The food is of good quality, with a very varied menu (the meat from the Peloponnese is a real delight). It's worth a detour, at least for the sight and the frame that won't disappoint you.

Family restaurant where very good fresh fish is served, but also meat or vegetable dishes. Traditional dessert is usually offered. The staff is very hospitable. It is recommended to book because the place, strong from its reputation, is often crowded.

Ideal location, feet in the water. This beach tavern is very pleasant and invites to a lunch break. Parents will be able to watch the children swimming from the corner of their eyes. Perfect for a drink as well. For the record, Christian, one of the owners, is French. He opened the restaurant with Stella, his Greek wife, and the couple has built up a nice reputation on the spot. Stella will guide you in your choices by presenting you her menu (and especially her fish) with sometimes a touch of French influence to discover.

A beautiful tavern by the sea, with a loyal clientele. 200 m from the port, the place is quite enchanting, with its lanterns decorating the courtyard and its beautiful little marble tables (old sewing machines at the base) overlooking the sea. Some people say that this set could be used for a film. In any case, the place attracts a local clientele, regular customers. Takis serves grilled meats, fresh fish and seafood pasta. Classic. It should be noted that the establishment also offers 15 economic rooms for rent.

On a small beach in Kounoupitsa, the Akrogiala tavern puts your feet in the water! The size of the meal is more relaxing. Not a great choice of dishes, but delicious mezzes and delicious grilled fish await you.

This tavern on the ground floor of the Hotel Brown is a very good address in the city of Aegina. At lunch and dinner you can enjoy tasty traditional cuisine (check out the daily specials, always fresh) or come and have coffee and breakfast in the morning. Try veal with beer, stuffed mushrooms, pork pasta and yoghurt sauce. The service is warm and the setting impeccable, with a direct view of the sea. A magnificent setting on the sand by the sea, by the port, in summer.

Between the port of Aegina and Souvala, on the road that runs along the beach, this small family tavern, established in the 1960s, continues the tradition thanks to the family's son who has become a chef. The specialities of the past, mainly exceptional fried fish with small fresh fish (gavros) and other local fish of the day, pleasantly revisited, will be served to you with a few touches of modern cooking. Special mention to the couscous... with lobsters. But marinated anchovies and stuffed sardines are also a delight.

We love this café-restaurant, located on the sea front, close to the landing stage (enough to guess the arrival of your boat) but not too much taken by the crowd and the luggage. The view is clear on the sea and the menu allows you to find what you want at any time of the day. From early morning, you can have breakfast or just a coffee or a snack when leaving the Bouboulina Museum. At lunchtime, the menu is varied and cosmopolitan, with mezzedes and salads or burgers. There are also very good desserts.

This tavern, in the port of Kamini, offers traditional dishes at really affordable prices. We like the presentation of the dishes to be worked on. The service is good, efficient and the general atmosphere is very warm and family friendly

A simple and authentic tavern on the promenade of Perdika, whose history dates back to 1936. Its specialties include spaghetti with lobster (kritharoto) and fish soup (tiganosoupa) but there are also classic octopus, squid and other eggplant caviar, pitas (homemade) and fish. All this with a nice view of the port with the fishing boats that will have supplied you. As often, if you hesitate, you can choose in the kitchen. The homemade and often offered desserts are also a small delight.

Impossible to miss this tavern, undoubtedly one of the best located and most frequented on the port. It could take advantage of its location but it remains open all year round and must also satisfy the locals - always a guarantee of quality. We found a varied menu with Greek specialties and salads with seasonal products. The establishment also prides itself on offering homemade pizzas. We checked, it is indeed the case: taken out of the oven and not from the freezer. In short, an honest tavern with a very warm staff.

This is one of the island's most popular meeting places. Terrace, tables and deckchairs on the private beach. The menu focuses on hearty dishes like pasta and risotto, but you'll find lighter suggestions in the morning. Try cod with beans, rack of lamb, grilled octopus or lentil and shrimp salad. Various events and cocktails are often organized here. For exclusive moments, make a reservation for the super-private "chef's table" inside the building..

Located only a few meters from the port, this mezzedopoleio is a reference. Supplied daily by the island's fishermen, the chef is renowned for his spaghetti with shrimp and lobster, among other things. The menu changes according to the season and it will be difficult for you to choose from all the delicious dishes. There is only one solution: come back regularly to taste everything
