The best restaurants Argassi

In a bend that beautifully overlooks the sea, this unpretentious little restaurant will serve you excellent homemade dishes. On the heights of Xyrokastello, this tavern has a large shady terrace overlooking the olive groves with the sea on the horizon. The cuisine is typically Greek: grilled swordfish, stuffed peppers, fried squid... The portions are generous and the prices are small! And the staff is very friendly and really good advice. Perhaps the best restaurant in this part of the island.

Seemingly very touristy, Star Taverna serves tasty traditional Greek cuisine: moussaka, grilled fish, fried squid, meatballs... Try lamb chops with garlic or lamb shank with potatoes and vegetables. The portions are generous, the prices are correct, and above all the staff is very friendly! The owner and staff are adorable and may give you some free appetizers (like pita with tzatziki, a small cheese salad) and often ice cream for dessert.

On the highest point of the town, this family restaurant offers perhaps the best view in the area. Ideal for a romantic sunset dinner as the views from the room and its terrace are extraordinary, overlooking Argassi and the town. If you want to meet locals, you should know that the atmosphere is particularly lively on Thursdays and Saturdays (we spotted a menu with traditional dancing and unlimited local wine all night long, that's saying something). Besides, transportation is sometimes free with transfers from some hotels.
