Nireas

Name: Nireas
Price range: €€

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.

Our take

Choose the fish under the grapevine

Staff will take you to choose and weigh the fish; agree on the total price before it reaches the grill. Lunch stays calmer than dinner, so reserve at night and keep the order simple; reviews praise the seafood but include occasional reports of long waits and abrupt service.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Nireas 4.4 from 1,313 reviews with Travelers' Choice 2025; current reports praise fresh weighed fish while a minority flag waiting time, service and price.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.

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

Niohori Restaurant

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.
