The best restaurants Maltezana

This tavern is located on the beach of Schinontas, just outside the port of Maltezana. Here you can eat very good food, prepared with good products, in a friendly and warm atmosphere. Thanassis, the owner of the place, has understood how to satisfy his customers: the immediate proximity of a beautiful beach (with umbrellas and deckchairs if you feel like it), a smiling and impeccable service, and an unbeatable freshness menu. All this with prices that remain reasonable. It's a great address, where we like to come back again and again.

Forget about the fresh fish and lobster that Astipalaia is famous for: at Tasos, the stars of the show are the grilled meats. The stars of the show at Tasos are the grilled lamb chops, the Greek-style steaks and the kid. It's all divinely simple and tasty, served on the heights of Schinontas beach, just outside the village. One overlooks the horizon, devouring all kinds of meats. Vegetarians should refrain: you won't find anything to your liking here apart from the accompanying vegetables.

It's certainly here, on the little port of Maltezana, that you'll eat the best fish and seafood on the island. The word of insiders and locals alike is that the Almyra tavern is renowned throughout Astypalaia for its undeniably fresh dishes, prepared with a touch of originality. Don't miss the revisited fish tartars, flavored with local saffron, or the tarama, the house specialty. A delight with a sea view. Some daily fish by the kilo may be a little more expensive, so ask for the price of the animal before placing your order.
