Kanapitsa Greek Restaurant Beach bar — Restaurant in Skiathos Municipality

Beachfront Greek taverna. The restaurant serves a very good range of Greek dishes, including the usual favourites.

There is an indoor and outdoor seating area. The restaurant is open sided so is almost open air.

As well as the restaurant, the taverna has a bar area serving lighter snacks. Again there is indoor and outdoor seating.

It's probably wise to make a reservation for evening during the high season.

To get there, it's an easy drive from Skiathos town with car parking available adjacent to the taverna.

You can take a bus to stop No.12 and walk up the steepish hill then down the other side.....probably about 15 minutes walk.

Alternately come by local ferry from Skiathos port right to the jetty in front of the taverna. Check the timetable so that you can have the maximum of time at the taverna.

I've visited this taverna regularly since 1992 and have seen it develop into a very good restaurant with very good food and very friendly...

We had dinner in an afternoon around 5pm. The place wasn’t too busy but it felt like just one waiter was working from all the team. He was running around everywhere. Unfortunately we were very hungry so it felt like we waited an eternity for the order to be taken. But at least it arrived pretty fast. The food was classic, nothing special about it. Tasty but not amazing. We always loved tzatziki and we weren’t disappointed by it - was very tasty. The octopus was tender, a bit fat but expected for a tentacle that size. The fava mash wasn’t very tasty. The juices all very good. And, of course you have a great sea view - since the restaurant is on the beach. I read later that this restaurant is famous for the fresh fish, so maybe if you come here order the catch of the day and...

This was, by far, the best dinner we had in Greece! Food, atmosphere, service, location, all of it.

We called just 30 min before to make a reservation, and they welcomed us quickly, as the place was jot entirely full.

The appetizers were amazing (fava, octopus in vinegar and some sort of donuts with feta cheese served with pomegranate jam.. a-ma-zing!)

Main dish was their house salad and a grilled, freshly-caught red snapper, which I had to battle with to finish. Great, again!

And to top all the fast service and helpful and knowledgeable waiters, the good house wine and all, they also brought us a complimentary delicious panacota.

Do go if you...
