Octopus trades the skewer for the quay
Elia sets white-clothed tables directly on Pythagoreio port, where fishing boats and excursion vessels pass within sight of dinner. Octopus souvlaki, tuna carpaccio and seafood marinades move beyond the standard harbour-taverna script, while the kitchen still keeps moussaka and grilled fish in reach.
The compact menu reflects the day's supply, and tuna quality has varied in recent reports. Book before 8pm, request a waterside table and ask which fish arrived fresh before choosing; the kitchen serves continuously from early afternoon to about 11:30pm.
What visitors say
Elia holds 4.3 from about 973 Tripadvisor reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; diners repeatedly cite octopus, fish and port views, while recent reports flag occasional fish inconsistency.
