Finikas Restaurant

Name: Finikas Restaurant
Price range: €€

Finikas fits a small dining room and a few outdoor tables into the Sofadakia lanes, away from the port road. The family cooks a short list of moussaka, skordalia, pies and changing dishes such as lamb with rosemary or pork with prunes, while passing bicycles squeeze between waiting diners.

Our take

Six-thirty beats the alley queue

They take no reservations. Arrive when doors open around 6pm or expect a queue, ask for the daily dishes before choosing from the printed menu and avoid the sloping wall-side table if uneven seating bothers you; recent bills place specials above basic taverna prices.

What visitors say

Finikas holds 4.4 from about 738 Tripadvisor reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; home cooking and specials lead praise, while queues, no bookings and higher special prices recur in 2026 reports.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.

Restaurant

Olivo Restaurant

Olivo uses the old olive-factory quarter for a garden dining room scented by jasmine, several streets back from the waterfront. Lamb shank with saffron, beetroot risotto, mushroom and feta pie, stuffed burgers and chocolate soup give Greek staples a composed, restaurant-style finish.

Restaurant

Taverna Peparithos

Peparithos grills meat in view of arriving diners on the uphill ring road, where a plain courtyard draws Greek families away from Skopelos Town's waterfront menus. Barbecued pork, lamb, roast chicken, stuffed peppers and a thick-cut saganaki favour charcoal and oven cooking over decorative plating.

Restaurant

The Muses

The Muses places tables at the water's edge on the quieter eastern side of Skopelos Town, beyond the central ferry traffic. Daily fish, seafood linguine, tuna with lentils and bacon-wrapped chicken shift the menu toward plated Mediterranean cooking instead of a shared-meze procession.
