The best restaurants Marmari

A 15 minute drive from Marmari, this tavern lost in the land is worth a visit. Direction Paradisi for a stop in a family tavern. Far from the coast, there is little or no fish (a few gavros) and mostly meat dishes, some of which are produced here. Beef, pork and even wild boar on certain days. We especially appreciate the place at noon, for its terrace, and the possibilities of stroll which it offers around. Also on the menu, an excellent homemade pita that we recommend you finish at the hotel or the next day.

You must speak Greek or have eaten there to validate the name of the establishment. Translate: the "extra" place or tavern. And it wasn't oversold. In front of the beach but under a shaded arbour, you will find here some very classic dishes of the day (fava, gemista, zucchini croquettes, we didn't leave anything!). In the kitchen, you can also choose your freshly caught and perfectly cooked fish. It is a little secluded, very Greek and family but also on the other side of the road to the seaside, facing the sea for a swim between two courses

Slightly set back from the port and in a small alley, the place is very pleasant. The Cavo d'Oro, a quasi-institution, has been operating as a restaurant since 1897. He spreads out his tables outside in a narrow alley where you can enjoy grilled meat to order. Also take fish, casseroles and stews. By the way, feel free to have a look in the kitchen. The portions are copious and the menu varies according to the season. The service is friendly, and the place is crowded... but not by tourists!

We come here to meet up with family or friends on the heights. The traveller, on the other hand, will happily stop there when he leaves Marmari or Eretrie. You have to venture a little inland, but the trip is worth it. On the terrace with a view of the bay below, you will enjoy lamb chops, kokoretsi and other grilled meats. In this traditional tavern, which has been open since 1953, the generous feta, honey and sesame pitas are also available.

The Greek name of the tavern means "the tale of Antonia". Anyway, it gives us a good story to tell. Leaning against a playground, the place and its terrace don't look like much. The mezzes and seafood are excellent, however, with a special mention to the squid offered fresh, with a slight supplement, but tender as you wish. It is the ideal place to stop at any time of the day for a small snack or while waiting for a boat.
