Tiny prices, a crowded table
Argyros occupies an old stone-walled room near the Arethousa springs and Chalkida's archaeological museum, well back from the waterfront display. Small plates cost little enough to build a broad spread: tyropitari, sausage, pork belly, schnitzel and fried cheese favor appetite over ceremony.
Arrive before 14:00 or after the first dinner rush, since more than 300 reviews and low prices can overwhelm the floor. Order five or six small dishes for two, skip the fatty mixed grill if lean meat matters and choose inside seating during fly season; recent complaints flag long waits and uneven service outdoors.
What visitors say
Argyros holds 4.3 from more than 310 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice badge; low prices and tyropitari lead praise, while recent reports identify outdoor flies and peak-hour service failures.
