South Aegean, Greece Food Guide: 10 Greek food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Naxos
Reviews on Greek food in Naxos, South Aegean, Greece. A spot of white in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods. Upon arrival in Naxos, hike over a causeway to Palatia, where the Portara, a stone gateway to an ancient temple that no longer exists, stands alone, the symbol of the island. At sunset, the views of the island, and the sea beyond, are breathtaking.

We returned again to Antamoma early because we had no reservation. We ordered a bottle of red while we reviewed the menu. We ordered Lamb Batouli (two of us) and the third ordered the pork steak. Before mains, we ordered the Imam, octopus salad, Horiatiki Greek salad and an order of fried Naxian potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the lamb dishes and pork. The Imam was fantastic and, for those who like octopus, the dish was wonderful, I am told.Service was superb, polite, friendly and informed service from obviously professional staff. We greatly enjoyed our dinners, the atmosphere was delightful on a beautiful evening. Then, the chef's sister, Ireni stopped to say hello! She has a wonderful personality, very enthusiastic and welcoming. We had a fantastic dinner, very memorable, and the service, setting and wine was absolute perfection. The new renovations are quite niceIn Naxos Chora, this is definitely a restaurant to visit again and again, each visit unveils wonderful creative and delicious culinary skills and flavors. The wait staff is highly professional and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the service, food, ambiance and wine greatly.

We were searching for a place to watch the AFL semi finals and enquired Soulatso. The staff were very accommodating and they were genuinely interested in the outcome of our game. They made our game a priority, even when a crowd turned up to watch a soccer match, which we greatly appreciated. A relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

We enjoyed a great dinner here which is right on Saint Georgeâs beach. We had fresh pasta with tuna steak and an amazing ribeye which came with corn fritters and Naxian potatoes and was cooked to perfection. The restaurant also offers an extensive wine list. The service was excellent â our waiter was attentive and engaging. We received a complimentary bunch of grapes for dessert.

A really extraordinary gem of a place on the island of Naxos- off the beaten track for those who want an elegant sophisticated stay off grid. It is family owned & run and the personal attention to detail is outstanding & meticulous. Food top notch and amazing. Comfort as you would expect for people with discerning taste! This is where sophisticated Athenians come to truly getaway. By plan or ferry which will transport you into the heart of the Cyclades. An absolute must!

On a really windy day in Naxos Town we decided to venture out and explore the island. This is truly a hidden gem. We drove through the mountains with some great views of Naxos. We only found out of this restaurant through trip advisor and we thank you for that. Portions are huge, food is unbeleivable fresh homestyle cooking and the hospitality of a lovely family of three take your order and cook and make sure you leave happy. It's a meal that you can't find in NYC. If I'm in Naxos again 100% I will return. It's a must go. No food in the chora compares to it. Great prices as well.

This is a really picturesque family run taverna based by a church in the centre of the village of Melanes. We visited on the strength of the earlier reviews. We received a warm welcome from one of the ownerâs children and ordered the braised lamb in lemon and one of the speciality pork dishes with eggplant. Our food was decidedly average and due to the speed it was served, certainly not freshly prepared. The lamb was a tasteless shank served with chips and the pork was not particularly flavoursome. We were offered complimentary dessert which comprised some fruit and orange cake. Yes, the setting is beautiful and very authentic and the service was good but the food simply didnât live up to expectations and frankly we failed to see what all the hype was about from the earlier reviews. Maybe we visited on an off night.Το οÏι ήÏθε γÏήγοÏα Ïο ÏαγηÏο ÏÎ±Ï Î´ÎµÎ½ Î½Î¿Î¼Î¯Î¶Ï Î½Î± Ïημενει ÏÏÏ Î´ÎµÎ½ είναι καλο η ÏÏÏÏÏαÏα ÏÏοεÏοιμαÏμÎνο, ιÏα ιÏα ÏÎ¿Ï Î´ÎµÎ¯Ïνει ÏÏι Ïο ÏαγηÏά είναι ÏÏÎÏκο και ζεÏÏο και εÏÏεÏε ÏÏο ÏÏαÏÎζι ÏÎ±Ï ÏÏÏÎ¯Ï Î¾Î±Î½Î±Î¶ÎµÏÏαμα άμεÏα και γÏήγοÏα.

Was there a few days ago with friends enjoying the sun, sea and seafood. As our aim was to have seafood cuisine and that was exactly what we had. I highly recommend Guna which is a mackerel dish, marinated octopus and mussels. Seriously amazing! The octopus was cooked very well. The balsamic in the salad that we had tasted like there was a hint of coffee in it. Was delicious. My favourite was the Guna fish.
