Thalassa — Restaurant in Municipality of Karpathos

I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant. From the street you think it is like many restaurants looking at the street side terras. But in the back there is a large, beautifully made terras. It is very spacious and created tasteful with a high quality. It is refreshing to see a restaurant here in Karpathos that has spent a lot of money and effort to make it good. The restrooms are also built with a lot of high quality decoration and the are clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly and make you feel at home. The food: we had the octopus as starter and it was just perfect. It was very tender, not too salty, it came in its own gravy and it was not spoiled by too much spices. It was delicious. We had tuna and swordfish as a main dish. They both came served with nicely (not over) cooked vegetables and a jacket potato. The swordfish was average. It was ok. The potato and vegetables were exactly how they should be. But the tuna: that was delicious! Often tuna is overcooked and becomes hard to chew and tastes sour. This one was medium well and it melted on your tongue. It had the consistency of the best premium steak you can imagine. It looked like a steak which put me of, but once I tasted it, it was heaven. We had the white house wine which was better than many I had before in Greece. I also have to point out that the staff also allowed us plenty of time between starter and main. In many other more "touristy" kind of eating places they rush you through the courses. Here this is not the case. We will return here during our stay, thats for sure. Who ever started and now manages this place has done a great job. Please keep doing what your doing. Thank you for making this a 10 out of 10 dinner evening! Pictures are the octopus and...

I decided to try this place because I'd read good reviews of this.

The dinner did not disappoint me, the Greek food is usually good, but this one, for me, just lacked a heart.

I had Dolmades for starters and then one of the daily dishes for the main course.

Everything was good and I recommended you to try this place, I really do! But for me, it just left me wanting something more. Not more food, there was plenty of that, but just that extra something.

The complimentary dessert was really tasty. Some yogurt and sauce, and it was delicious!

The service was good, not great, but good.

But, I do recommend to go and find out yourselves. The atmosphere was really nice, it wasn't crowded at the time I was there (around 7-8 pm.) and the menu looked great and a bit expensive. But, it could very well...

This restaurant is absolutely lovely and beautifully designed. They have a stunning courtyard in the back, but the front area is just as charming with a warm and inviting interior even though you might not expect it from the outside.

Parking is super easy, with convenient spots available right across the street if you're coming by car. The food is delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly and talkative, making you feel right at home. They present their daily specials on a board next to the menu, which adds a nice personal touch, and their wine selection is very nice.

Definitely a place I’d recommend—an...
