Niohori Restaurant

Name: Niohori Restaurant
Price range: €€

Niohori Restaurant spreads family-run tables along a narrow lane opposite Santa Maria church, ten minutes from the Old Town crowds. Bougainvillea hangs above mixed grills, kokkinisto beef, moussaka and pork chops marinated in milk, with house wine poured by the jug.

Our take

Milk-marinated pork past the football bars

Portions run large and the kitchen works best when the table shares one grill with two or three starters. Arrive before 19:00 or reserve for the 19:00–21:00 rush; queues form most nights, and diners looking for a slow meal may feel pressure from the waiting line.

Restaurant

Kerasma

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.

Restaurant

Marco Polo Cafe

Marco Polo Cafe hides a walled garden behind its guesthouse on Agiou Fanouriou, with tiled floors, fruit trees and lanterns above widely spaced tables. Yiannis Pastrikos cooks Mediterranean food with Greek, Italian and eastern references for diners who value a quiet courtyard over an Old Town sales pitch.

Restaurant

Nireas

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.
