Naxos Town · Restaurant

Doukato

Name: Doukato
Price range: €€

Doukato hides a planted courtyard behind the port in Naxos Town's old market, with enough tables to hum but little street traffic. Groups share octopus giouvetsi, spicy feta and meat skewers; several mains can feed two.

Our take

Octopus orzo in the old market

Dinner starts at 18:00 and runs to midnight. Reserve by email, ask about skewer and souvlaki size before adding sides and expect a brisk pace when every table fills; current solo diners report enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Doukato 4.5 from about 960 reviews; 2026 diners praise octopus giouvetsi, skewers and large portions, while some describe peak service as rushed.

Restaurant

Apostolis

Apostolis takes over a flagstone square inside Bourgos, with oversized lanterns hanging above a broad terrace beside the old market lanes. Couples and families choose slow-cooked lamb, zucchini fritters and vegetarian moussaka while sightseers pass the square.

Restaurant

Scirocco

Scirocco has occupied Protodikiou Square since 1995, spreading tables beneath awnings where children move around and evening foot traffic never stops. Brothers Nikos and Michalis built the menu around Naxian cheese, potatoes, rabbit, beef and seafood rather than port-front salesmanship.

Restaurant

Taverna Naxos

Taverna Naxos sits near the port under the island agricultural cooperative, serving local meat, potatoes and cheese without styling itself as an old-town courtyard. Travelers waiting for ferries join residents over grilled octopus, chops and straightforward plates.
