I'm giving 5 stars because the staff was very friendly and coordinated, the moment we sat down someone came and gave us plates, cutlery and water, they were fast and our order came pretty fast too. The food was very delicious, the octopus was well seasoned and the shrimps were fresh. The atmosphere was great with traditional Greek music.

Authentic Greek food with views of the Aegean. We had a spread of food that we shared family style. Friends enjoyed the fried eggplant, the greek salad and the calamari. Fried cheese balls were very good as well.

Great atmosphere. Warm and smiling service. Seafood and hot appetizers are satisfactory. It would be much better if they made only the french fries in the traditional way. Frozen french fries did not suit this table.

The setting is truly beautiful – right by the sea, which creates a very pleasant atmosphere. However, we were not impressed with the long waiting time, both for taking our order and for the food to be served. The dishes themselves were very tasty, but we were disappointed that the fish had no price listed in the menu. When the bill came, we were simply charged without knowing the weight or the price per kilo in advance.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Zorbas Tavern! The seafood and fish dishes were incredibly fresh and full of flavor — some of the best we’ve ever had in Greece. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. And the dessert? Simply outstanding — a perfect sweet ending to a perfect meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Greek hospitality and amazing food!

Large shaded restaurant right on the beach without umbrellas and sun beds blocking the sea view. Sufficient and friendly staff. Menu in English. We tried the lamb which was very soft and the chicken filet, which was very tasty. Would fully recommend eating at this restaurant
