The best restaurants Skiathos Chora – Χωρα

This intimate restaurant and its nearby bar are two ideal places for a view. The dishes are fine. Continental cuisine and Asian menus occasionally. Recommended reservation.

It's the kind of tavern that you love with avenant staff and a kitchen where you can take a look. Here, we recommend the safe and safe values of the island: grilled fish and octopus salad. And the staff is generous: at every commandé ordered, you usually offer a small mezze…

Take a bit of height: here the veranda seems suspended in the sky! This tavern is warmly recommended by the inhabitants of the island, for its dishes and its view of Skopelos. On the menu: excellent taramokeftedes (fish boulettes) and chortopita chortopita (laminated to herbs). Fine wine list also.

Open your taste buds wide, you're in for a treat. To begin with, you have to choose between sitting in an old grocery store, with a lush decoration made of luminous colanders, lanterns, jam jars and vintage cans, and the annex set up just across the street in a sort of barnum on stilts. In any case, you can eat very well for cheap: shrimps sagnaki, tarama, tuna rillettes, everything is to fall. Very good white wine also with the Antithessi produced in the Parissi winery, the best vineyard of the island.

Small and nice pizzeria with a view of the port that makes a nice change from the usual Greek cuisine. The specialty of the house is the pizza vesuviana with spicy salami, onions and mozarella, but we preferred to opt for a garlic bread with cheese, succulent tagliatelle with salmon and especially for a mushroom risotto with parmesan and porcini powder to fall on the ground. Not forgetting the little tiramisu that goes well to finish. The whole went very well with the small dry white wine of Corinth of the owner, we enjoyed ourselves.

It is difficult to eat (and sit down) at a table at a very low price at Skiathos, except here. Going up rue Papadamantis from the port, we stray slightly into a less busy alley on the left to land in this small "nameless" shop since 1992. Not great gastronomy but, here, honest and well-made gyros and souvlaki that can be eaten on one of the red, yellow or blue tables. You can also take your sandwich and sit on a bench. Quieter, more pleasant and economical too.

A family tavern run by Christos Kaloyiannis and one of the few places in Skiathos where you can still enjoy good traditional dishes such as fish with tomato casserole or lobster with zucchini in tomato sauce. It is a vintage jewel, beautifully located at the end of Megali Ammos beach with a verandah overlooking the islet of Tsougria. We also love the homemade tarama with mushrooms and garlic, scallops stuffed with spinach and seafood spaghetti. And of course, the vegetables are from the garden.

This restaurant (whose name means "pot") opened in 2013 in an enchanting setting, in a beautiful garden shaded by bougainvilleas. Its ambition is to offer sophisticated dishes with Mediterranean flavours. Order the refreshing sea fennel, cherry tomato, pickled onion and aged cheese salad, followed by the delicious fennel and wild green goat cheese or the delicate steamed cod with its mussels and vegetables. Wine list with more than 60 local varieties.

The restaurant received a major boost and publicity in 2018 with the arrival of the famous chef Angelos Bakopoulos, who offers an inspired seafood menu, such as his shrimp tartar or his tuna tataki with thyme and teriyaki sauce. Here you can enjoy modern and contemporary Greek cuisine on a pleasant terrace. The freshness of the ingredients is reflected in her healthy Mediterranean cuisine, prepared in part with organic vegetables from her garden. Otherwise, the pasta is tasty, the fish is fresh and the meat is delicious.
