Αθος - Athos — Restaurant in Municipality of Nea Propontida

We discovered this place completely by accident two years ago and were extremely pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service.

Two years later, after taking long coastal and island tours in Greece and being disappointed by the average quality of food and prices, we made a long detour here to check if this was now the norm in Greece.

And it isn't. This place has the best food, service and quality-price ratio that we could find.

The food and drinks are amazing, and the people are nice too. 700 metres before we stopped at a taverna that we also visited two years ago, the service, prices and quality were really poor.

It's more or less the same small village, but Athos has an amazing beach location and offers the best food experience. Unlike most other places in Greece that we visited this year, it doesn't just look to raise prices...

Theseating has a view overseeing the sand and blue waters. Fast service, expected tasty Greek taverna favorites with their own spin on things which works out very well: grilled octopus (with hummus and red onion and tomato garnish), grilled kalamari, fried zucchini (cut thin with the ridges, nice cruch and tender interior, and not soaked in oil), zucchini patties (κολοκιθο-κεφτέδες), and the eggplant salad had a tasty and interesting preperation (it was topped with crushed garlic, crumbled feta, and diced tomatoes), served on a wooden plank.The surprise is desert, with huge heaping place of loukoumades, drizzeled with chocolate and white chocolate sauce, sprinkeled crushed walnuts, with vanilla ice cream. Very reasonable priced. Would go back again when...

I'm very sad to give them 2 stars because the food was exquisite and the restaurant was wonderful, right beside the beach.

The service was excellent, up until the point when one of our waiters (with the tattoos) asked where we were from. Since he often asks that question he has to bear in mind that he'll get a lot of different answers. He didn't seem to like my husband's, so he decided to make a political "joke" and slam his phone while writing in the wi-fi password.

And it was my birthday, so he kind of ruined it for me. Next time I hope he'll take into consideration that he is a waiter, and that's no place for political views.

P.S. Our other waiter, with the glasses, was wonderful - polite, made small talk and gave us a...
