Magali — Restaurant in Skopelos Municipality

Disappointed and frustrated – a complete tourist trap!

Lured in by the surprisingly good reviews and the restaurant’s central location, we decided to give it a try. Big mistake. This place is nothing but a tourist trap serving shockingly poor food with equally poor service.

As a Greek myself, I know what proper Greek cuisine should taste like – and this was nowhere near it. The chicken gyros was chopped so finely and dry it resembled mush – more like leftovers scraped off the spit than an actual meal. The taste? Completely bland. I ordered it with pita and had to ask for it twice – still never got it.

The bifteki was clearly a frozen patty with zero flavor, and the fried cheese balls tasted like plastic. The only acceptable item was the Greek salad – but let’s be honest, you’d have to try hard to mess that up.

Service was disorganized and indifferent. Waiters snapped at each other multiple times and not once did anyone ask how our food was, if anything was missing, or if we were satisfied.

For the first time in my life, I walked out of a restaurant with nearly full plates left behind. That...

If you're on Skopelos Island and craving authentic Greek street food, Megali should be at the top of your list. This local gem serves up the best souvlaki in town, and its reputation is well-deserved.

Do you know what there is the odd occasion you wish you had 6 stars and this place would get my vote. Located in a small square under the shade of a tree just above the harbour. Passed it numerous times walking around the streets and always quite busy with a mix of clientele. And it’s not even main tourist season yet.

Tables available, takeaway and delivery you name it and everyone’s busy buzzing around. The meat was simply fantastic, great quality. The pork gyros pitta is well put together at such speed. Service is friendly and super efficient. Can even have a beer, what more can you ask for. Just sit back enjoy your food n drink and watch island live buzz by.

Worth searching out by a country mile. The...
