O Ntinos

Name: O Ntinos
Price range: €€€

O Ntinos sits at Ormos Giannaki below Kardiani, with a west-facing terrace almost level with the small bay. Seafood groups order scorpionfish, shellfish, fish soup and white shrimp-and-mussel pasta while sunset fills the entire open side.

Our take

Shrimp pasta below the hairpin road

The descent road is steep and narrow, and popular tables fill before 19:00. Reserve, arrive early, confirm fish weight and appoint a sober driver; prices reached about €140 for four diners with drinks in July 2026, and recent service reports range from polished to openly rude.

What visitors say

O Ntinos holds 4.5 across more than 1,170 Tripadvisor reviews; 2026 diners praise fish, pasta and views, while recent complaints identify high prices and sharply inconsistent staff conduct.

Restaurant

Avli

Avli runs a family courtyard just off the waterfront at Ormos Isternion, sheltered from some of the bay's direct wind. Beach families and west-coast drivers share an Avli salad built from Tinos produce, lamb, squid and daily cooked dishes without the presentation of a chef-led room.

Restaurant

Choreftra

Choreftra takes over a stone courtyard in Kampos, where two brothers run the floor and their mother anchors the kitchen. Village drivers and church visitors come for whipped-feta Greek salad, braised-beef gnocchi and house arborariza liqueur rather than a long generic grill list.

Restaurant

Maru

Maru faces the small Panormos harbour with white tables close to the moored caiques. Seafood diners choose fish soup, grilled sardines and the daily catch, while meat eaters get beef and other cooked plates without forcing the group into a fish-only meal.
