EL GRECO — Restaurant in Municipality of Karpathos

This is a gyros place near the beach and it's open from 11.30 am until 17.30 pm - at least those were the opening hours in June 2025. Google may say otherwise.

The gyros plate with salad and tsatsiki, that was my special order. I usually eat gyros with salad. And it was really a big portion, the price was 13.50 euros.

And I like to eat a lot when I'm eating so that's saying something. The tsatsiki at that time was too salty, though, but I enjoyed it, nevertheless.

That was my first visit to El Greco and it was fairly empty at that time. Everything went really smoothly, the service was really good, no complaints.

However, the second time I visited El Greco it was clearly a rush hour so I had to wait a long time for a drink and then even longer for the Gyros Pita. Then again, there was only one waitress and I think one cook so, I believe they worked as fast as they could.

I still think they could've handled the drinks faster, maybe bring some water. And, as I was alone, I was last to be served even though I had been there before the couples/families.

I mentioned it, of course, and they were really sorry about it. They just didn't notice me because of all the fuss. Which I completely understand.

The gyros pita was great! The price was about 5 euros and in this dish the tsatsiki was fine! Okay, it won't take away your hunger (I didn't take the bread they were serving) if you fancy big meals like I do, but it was enough to wait for dinner time.

I do recommend this place, the service was really good, just don't go there if there are a lot of people waiting to be served.

You can also have a takeaway, if you like. Just check the tsatsikia before you go out and about your day. I really like some salt in tsatsiki, but on my first visit, it was too much. The second, it was...

Not really sure why all the 5-star reviews. Definitely a tourist place with an average food.

This was our 5th night in Pigadia and didn’t want to walk to city center for dinner tonight. This restaurant is located just opposite of our hotel, so decided to give it a try.

The owner (my guess) is super friendly (too friendly for my taste) but the rest of the staff gets the job done without the extra. Tables are pretty close to each other so the athmosphere is tight.

Greek salad and dolmades for starters. Greek salad had lettuce in it!? Not the best greek salad I’ve had but not bad in any means either. Dolmades was pretty much the same, average.

Mousaka and chicken souvlaki for the main. Mousaka was again, average. Not bad, but pretty plain. Souvlaki was also average. Souvlaki had a lot of sides that I didn’t see any reason for.

You can get decent food here if it’s conviently located for you. Just that there are way better options available elsewhere...

Fantastisches Restaurant mit tollem Service

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, kürzlich in diesem wunderbaren Restaurant zu speisen, und ich kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Die Atmosphäre war angenehm und einladend, was durch das freundliche Personal noch verstärkt wurde. Jeder Mitarbeiter, dem wir begegneten, war unglaublich hilfsbereit und höflich.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Chefkoch, der nicht nur talentiert, sondern auch äußerst sympathisch ist. Er hat sich sogar die Zeit genommen, an unseren Tisch zu kommen und sicherzustellen, dass alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit war.

Die Speisen waren einfach köstlich! Jedes Gericht, das wir bestellt haben, war perfekt zubereitet und hervorragend präsentiert. Die Vielfalt auf der Speisekarte bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas, und die Qualität der Zutaten war deutlich zu spüren.

Ein weiterer Pluspunkt sind die fairen Preise. Trotz der hohen Qualität der Speisen und des Services sind die Preise absolut angemessen und bieten ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Nicht zu vergessen die schnelle Zubereitung der Gerichte. Obwohl das Restaurant gut besucht war, mussten wir nie lange auf unser Essen warten, was wirklich beeindruckend war.

Alles in allem war es ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis, und ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch. Ein großes Kompliment an das...
