Abelopas Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Platanias

Went there at around 11:30pm when most of restaurants closing at midnight won't serve food anymore. They had only one group eating (later I realise they owned the place) so I felt hopeful to get dinner. They were happy to serve me though the staff looked very exhausted and I started to feel sorry about having them to prepare and serve for another table.

Have a bottle of the Santorini Assyrtiko white wine. It's better than any Sauvignon Blanc. They'll also present you with complimentary Raki, watermelon and the wife even a glass of smooth sweet Muscat to...

Our experience at Abelopas.

At first we were welcomed at the side of the road and after they guided us in the amazing aesthetic garden. All the tables was among trees and around plants. An amazing space that is very carefully designed.

The food. Where to start and where to finish. Every dish was delicious. Each dish was prepared at that time so all the ingredients are fresh and the food is hot and well cooked. (Tip: Try the Ntakakia, thank me later)

The prices was more than satisfactory if you bare in mind that the quality of the food was top and it’s a not a tourist tavern with unjustifiably expensive prices. The prices are normal for both the tourists...
