Kerasma

Name: Kerasma
Price range: €€

Kerasma occupies a century-old neoclassical house near the marina, with high ceilings and a planted rear courtyard. The kitchen folds Greek ingredients into dishes such as kataifi-wrapped calamari, moussaka rolls, tuna and pork ribs without leaning on medieval scenery.

Our take

Kataifi calamari beyond the walls

The menu stays à la carte and dinner begins at 18:00, making an early table useful for families and larger groups. Reserve the courtyard, order the richer starters in one round and keep room for fish or meat; repeat diners praise the wine and steady service across multiple visits.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Kerasma 4.8 from 1,892 reviews and awards Travelers' Choice 2025; recent guests repeatedly cite repeat visits, efficient service and reliable group meals.

Restaurant

Nireas lays tables beneath jasmine and a mature grapevine in a small square inside the medieval walls. The Tsikis family has worked here since 1989, serving charcoal-grilled whole fish, prawns, mussels and vegetables without menu boards shouting at passers-by.
