Plaka dinner in a tight stone courtyard
Avli fits its tables into a small stone courtyard along Plaka's pedestrian lanes, close enough for chairs and passing walkers to negotiate the same space. Couples arrive after sunset for shrimp pasta, grilled seafood, dakos with Melian tomato and familiar Greek plates at mid-range prices.
The courtyard fills quickly once visitors descend from the castle viewpoint. Reserve for dinner, wear shoes that handle Plaka's steps and keep the order measured in the compact room; pasta portions run large and tables leave little space for a procession of starters.
What visitors say
Tripadvisor rates Avli 4.6 from more than 540 reviews and recent travelers repeatedly praise shrimp pasta and value; the compact courtyard and Plaka's stepped access shape dinner logistics.
