Akrotiri Authentic Greek Cuisine

Name: Akrotiri Authentic Greek Cuisine
Price range: €€€

Akrotiri sets tables on Pollonia beach and displays fish and lobster from local boats in an open cooler. Sun-dried octopus, stuffed squid and fisherman's pasta push the kitchen toward seafood, while moussaka and lamb in parchment cover mixed groups.

Our take

Sun-dried octopus lands on the sand

Inspect the cooler and confirm price by weight before choosing a fish. Recent reviews split sharply on service, small portions and fried food during busy periods, so book lunch or an early table, order one course at a time and send back rubbery calamari immediately.

What visitors say

Akrotiri holds 4.5 from about 389 Tripadvisor reviews and 4.6 from over 900 Google ratings; local fish and sun-dried octopus win support, while 2026 reports flag service, portions and inconsistent frying.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.
