To Elenikon — Restaurant in Kassandra Municipality

We came late on a Wednesday around 10pm our first night in Hanioti and picked this place as it looked more traditional than others. Food was really poor- we ordered a mixed grill and a Greek salad. There was absolutely no seasoning on the meat dish- no salt, pepper, oregano nothing- the tiny lamb chop was charred badly and inedible. The only thing with flavor was the mushy hamburger which seemed like frozen bought in. Greek salad came with grey boiled eggs… felt like we must have been served the dregs of the day- nothing fresh.

Glasses were dirty- asked for a new one and it never came. A few random young girls sat alone at the back tables looking sullen and smoking vapes/staring at phones- quite weird atmosphere for a beachside restaurant.

We were served quickly and the staff was kind so this is no reflection on them- but the food...

We ordered plate "fish for two persons" and it was the best plate I have ever had. There was minimum 5 different fish + squid rings + prawns + mussels. More then 2 persons can eat. Fresh, mostly grill baked, with perfect amounts od salt and fresh spices. You can take a table with a sea view. I recomend domestic semi-sweet white wine with this plate. Kid got French fries and homemade ketchup - excellent too. Greek salad was with big pieces of white coq cheese, eggs and everything else which goes by default in Greek salad and the plate was very big. Olive oil they used in salad was beautiful. I recommend this plate in this restaurant above all others with same offer...

I usually don’t write Google reviews for restaurants, but I had to make an exception for this one! After trying several fish restaurants in Hanioti and being disappointed, we finally discovered Ellinikon!

Not only is the location fantastic (you can take a walk to the beach right after dinner), but the food was absolutely delicious. The prices aren’t the cheapest, but the quality more than justifies it. Every cent was worth it — and the funny, friendly waiters made the experience even better.

I totally recommend Ellinikon to anyone visiting Hanioti. Especially try the shrimp saganaki – it was...
