Gorgones k Magkes

Name: Gorgones k Magkes
Price range: €

Gorgones k Magkes fills a corner near Agios Nikolaos with street tables, live music on selected nights and a broad seafood list priced below many harbour rooms. Friends split sardines, shellfish, octopus and grilled fish while vegetable dishes give non-seafood eaters enough room to manoeuvre.

Our take

Agios Nikolaos orders by the plate

Music nights change the volume and pace. Reserve outdoors only if street noise suits the group, ask about the day's fish and order meze in rounds; wheelchair access and card payment make this easier than several steep Panagia alternatives.

What visitors say

Gorgones k Magkes rates 4.5 from about 522 Tripadvisor reviews and ranks second in Kavala; seafood, low prices and outdoor seating account for its sustained volume of support.
