Tavern Nikos (Filaktos restaurant) — Restaurant in Municipality of Sithonia

Octopyssy is very good. Calamaria is also good. Small fish saedella (sardines) as wel Kolyos was amazing. The thing I was really impressed was french fries 🍟. Not frozen home made and potatoes were very tasty and the thing I did like more, the oil where were fried was fresh so no smell or bad taste. It is possible I was just lucky, but most probably it was all in line with the highest level of the cook. We got also sweets for free, prices were average for porto Coufu and lower than the expensive places around there. Oliver were amazing, tarama too. I have been told the owner is a fisherman and he is bringing fresh fish by the day, this why we keep going there. Reccomended P.s. a friend of mine had a Camper and they did allow him to put fresh water in the camper thank, that is also a gesture very nice speaking itself. P.S. 2 came back again Was sure french fries will be top of the top, with fresh oil and pealed recently. This dish is the Benchmark for a place. Very very difficult not to peal potatoes few hours in advance of cooking and change oil so frequently. Not expansive dish, but high cost of cooking and most restaurants arw neglecting this plate. Here at distance of years, French fries are still the Top Top. Please keep up the high standard and attitude to...

✨ A Hidden Gem We Return to Year After Year – Taverna Filaktos ✨

Taverna Filaktos is not just a restaurant – it’s a tradition, a memory, and a taste of true Greek hospitality that keeps calling us back. For over 10 years, our family has made it a ritual to dine here every summer, and it never ceases to amaze us.

The food? Absolutely divine. Every dish bursts with fresh flavors, prepared with heart and authenticity. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the rich moussaka and crisp salads, every bite tells a story of quality and care. It's the kind of place where you’ll order “just one more plate” again and again – not because you’re still hungry, but because you don’t want the experience to end.

The warm welcome from the staff, the cozy setting right near the sea, and the consistent excellence make this taverna stand out in every way. It’s rare to find a place that feels like home away from home – but Filaktos has truly earned that place in our hearts.

If you ever find yourself in Porto Koufo, do yourself a favor and stop by. Bring an appetite and prepare to fall in love with every flavor.

💙 Thank you, Filaktos, for feeding both our bodies and our memories. See you next summer – as...

Unfortunately we had a very disappointing dining experience. The waiters took our order after almost an hour of waiting. Other groups that arrived after us got their food before we even had our order taken. The waiters were told multiple times that we didn’t have our order take and didn’t seem to make a difference. It was quite inconvenient for us as it was late and we were with a toddler. By the time we ordered they didn’t have many fish options left. The food came after 1.5hr of waiting. The food was mediocre. We asked for extra bread. We asked 3 times for it, because they kept forgetting. They charged us 3.5 euros for it. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant...
