Aktaion Mare — Restaurant in Municipality of Nafplio

VEGANS, be warned: MISLEADING LABELS and ignored dietary requirements

We strongly advise vegans to avoid this restaurant. Dishes labeled as vegan are NOT reliably vegan, and staff ignored multiple clear explanations of our dietary restrictions.

We explicitly stated several times that we are vegan – no meat, fish, dairy, or cheese – and we double-checked the so-called vegan options, which already looked questionable on the menu. Despite all that, we were served a non-vegan starter, which we had to send back.

The main dishes appeared to be vegan but tasted dull. Overall, a frustrating and unacceptable experience. Not only that staff had no clue about vegan food - the menu (which shows clear vegan symbols) was...

Lovely view of the water with nice staff, but mediocre, touristy food. I tried the actaion mare pasta and it was extremely bland. Was supposed to be spicy, tasted like nothing. This was the least tasty meal I’ve had after 7 days in Greece. My brother’s sea bass dish was good but I wasn’t impressed by a different pasta dish my mother ordered or the Greek “tacos” we ordered either. If you’re looking for familiar American dishes this place would be fine, but definitely not experiencing delicious Greek cuisine. Walk one more block into nafplio and have real Greek food (if that’s what you’re looking for). Also the house wine is not sold by the carafe like it is...

We were very disappointed and frankly upset with our visit to Aktaion Mare. From the start, we clearly emphasized multiple times that we are vegan. We specifically asked whether the dishes labeled as “vegan” were truly vegan because some seemed suspicious on the menu. We made it clear we do not consume any animal products—no meat, fish, or dairy products.

Despite all this, we were served a non-vegan starter, which we had to send back. This is completely unacceptable.

The main dishes were indeed vegan but unfortunately did not taste good. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend...
