To Pareaki taverna — Restaurant in Municipality of Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades

This place truly stands out among the many restaurants along the harbor. It offers a warm, family-like atmosphere and is perfectly located right by the water. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the fish here is genuinely delicious—far better than what we had at other nearby spots.

We spent two weeks in the area and tried many restaurants along the harbor. Most were overpriced and the fish was hit or miss. But this restaurant consistently impressed us, and we ended up coming back again and again. We were never disappointed.

Even when it's busy, you can always find a table and the staff take great care of you. The wait to place an order can be a bit longer than usual, but once you've ordered, the food arrives surprisingly quickly. The team is attentive and clearly dedicated to making guests feel at home.

We visited during peak season—late July to early August—and were amazed at how fair the prices were. Compared to other places nearby, this restaurant offers much better food at much more reasonable prices.

Thank you for the wonderful service and...

To Pareaki is an absolute treasure in the heart of Naxos. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and treated like family. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, with a perfect blend of traditional Greek charm and relaxed island vibes.

The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood was especially memorable, grilled to perfection and bursting with taste. The ingredients are clearly high-quality and locally sourced and you can taste the love and care put into every plate.

The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do. They took the time to explain the dishes and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening.

Kind of disappointed in our dinner… we ordered the calamari which looked great but ended up being very rubbery and hard to chew so couldn’t finish it. We had amazing calamari at taverna naxos the night before so I would recommend going there if you want good calamari. We ordered the meat platter which was huge with enough food to feed 3 people. We also ordered a chicken skewer that came out with a few pieces of chicken undercooked so we chose not to finish that also. It was the only restaurant were we weren’t offered a free little desert after dinner. It ended up being the most expensive place we ate on Naxos and unfortunately our least favorite. Update: The owner reached out and I appreciate the care and concern. I think we misunderstood that they did offer a free desert. It may have been just a busy night in the kitchen… up’ed our...
