Athina Seafood Tavern — Restaurant in Municipality of Meyisti

The amazing experience began before lunch even started as when we first arrived at the island there was a sea turtle swimming next to the restaurant literally meters away from the tables. Take in mind this was at around 10 am in the morning so we hadn’t visited the Blue Cave for a swim yet. The owner chatted us up and told us he would give us a free coffee just for us to pretend to enjoy the restaurant and attract more customers. We had a good laugh and he told us to come back for lunch and he would get us a good table and great seafood. We obliged on his promise after our swim and came back. Firstly, we got an amazing table right on the edge of the water so the waves could slightly touch our feet and it felt so refreshing. He then showed us a fridge with extremely fresh fish and picked one for us which we approved. For the actual food, the calamari, octopus, fried zucchini chips, tzatziki, feta cheese salad, and the bread was all amazing. We then got our main of our fish and it was mindblowingly delicious. The best part was we finished and the owner gave us free Greek ice cream in a huge cup that just tasted heavenly. We can’t recommend this place enough and if we have the chance we would 100% come back a second, third, fourth and however many times...

Had terrible customer service that overshadowed the entire meal. We ordered the prawn pasta which was delicious and the grilled squid which was simple but cooked well but our white wine was served warm.

Additionally, we were served by the older gentleman who from the get go was not welcoming at all and interrupted our meal multiple times throughout the night to “double check what we ordered” because he “lost the written docket” despite us already haven gotten and eaten our food. This made it impossible for us to relax nor enjoy the food as we were being rushed and unwelcome from the beginning. To top it all off when he brought the bill he then asked for a 5-10€ tip to which we politely declined. Our whole experience was no less than 30 mins and it was...

We landed at Megisti on Monday noon. On the way to the hotel, we met Athina and an offer for a Frappe. However, we had to get to the hotel first with our junk, and therefore our first meeting was dinner on Monday. Then Frappe Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, dinner Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday we sail on towards Symi, so here we only reach Frappe. Thank you guys, for your very friendly service, quick serving and for giving us a really friendly experience. We are considering visiting Megisti out of season and if we do, we hope to meet you again. Thanks for this time - and to the rest of you - go down to them and get some good food, it's actually...
