Zorbas Taverna

Name: Zorbas Taverna
Price range: €€

Zorbas has served Panteli beach for decades, placing tables on the sand below the castle and windmills. Local boats supply the fish, while shrimp kritharoto with fennel, grilled seafood and bottled Greek wine make a fuller meal than the breakfast-to-midnight hours suggest.

Our take

Leros boats supply the beach table

Choose fish by sight and agree its weight, then order one starter while it grills. The kitchen runs from 09:00 until midnight and the beach row fills after swimming; reserve for dinner, carry a layer for wind and ask that pasta wait until the fish leaves the table.

What visitors say

Zorbas holds 4.4 from about 355 Tripadvisor reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; local seafood, long family continuity and beach seating underpin its repeat following.

Restaurant

Mylos by the Sea

Mylos is a family-run seasonal restaurant in Agia Marina, serving seafood and contemporary Greek cooking beside a traditional windmill with a dedicated wine list.

Restaurant

Mylos Restaurant

Mylos wraps a stone windmill at Agia Marina harbour, with tables facing the water and a serious cellar behind them. The seafood kitchen handles both freshly landed and Japanese-style dry-aged fish, then matches the catch with a wine list far deeper than the island norm.

Restaurant

Paradisos

Paradisos looks across Vromolithos beach from an airy terrace, with the Makris family's third generation now running a restaurant founded in 1994. Fish soup, cabbage rolls with egg-lemon sauce, eggplant balls and lamb on the bone keep the all-day redesign tied to household Greek cooking.
