Markakis Restaurant

Name: Markakis Restaurant
Price range: €€€

Markakis lines the harbor at Piso Livadi with shaded tables beside the moorings and a contemporary seafood menu. Couples and families choose the catch from a tray, then add Parian tomato salad, ceviche or local gouna.

Our take

Ceviche beside the fishing boats

The kitchen grills whole fish well, though composed mains sometimes bury a small fillet under potatoes or sauce. Reserve the harbor edge, confirm weight and preparation, and favor the catch over chicken souvlaki; June 2026 reviews praise ceviche and service but identify inconsistent accompaniments.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Markakis 4.5 from about 1,300 reviews; 2026 reports praise ceviche and fresh fish while recurring criticism concerns bland sides and fish portions hidden under sauce.
