Full Description

Perched on a beautiful spot near the archaeological settlement of Akrotiri and just a few steps away from the historic Lighthouse, Giorgaros Fish Tavern is all about fresh seafood and authentic Greek flavours.

This family‑run tavern works only with seasonal ingredients and daily‑caught fish.
On the menu you will find a wide variety of cold and hot appetizers, Greek salads, grilled meats and, of course, an impressive selection of fish and seafood – from small fried fish and squid to premium fish by the kilo and lobster.

The focus is on simple, honest cooking: fresh fish grilled or fried, classic recipes like fava, fried tomato balls, octopus, shrimp spaghetti and cod with garlic sauce.
The wine list features Santorinian and international labels that pair perfectly with the dishes, and the homemade desserts offer a sweet ending to your meal.

With its relaxed atmosphere, sea views and generous portions, Giorgaros is a great choice if you are exploring Akrotiri and looking for a proper Greek fish tavern experience by the Aegean Sea.

A must if you want fresh fish and local ingredients. Our favorite meal, we booked a local 4-hr tour and our driver George took us here. We would have never had opportunity to enjoy without him. The food is fresh and fantastic. We picked our fresh caught snapper, had a Greek salad, bread, fried zucchini and a sampling of desserts with local wine. So good, highly recommend and has a great view.

Fresh seafood with a view of the cauldera and sea. The service was excellent: friendly and professional. Probably the best we have had in Greece so far. A lovely evening here.

Impeccable hospitality from a family run family. Rosa, our host, took the care and time to explain the traditional dishes and asked about our preferences. The view around sunset is gorgeous. We felt so welcomed and had a wonderful time. Would recommend to anyone visiting Greece for the first or 10th time.
