  • 1. Liotrivi Restaurant

    $$$

    Spetses's best restaurant has been morphing and evolving since it first opened 25 years ago, and the owner, Giorgos—a local who grew up on the island working in his father's taverna—still loves what he does and it shows! Everyone from fishermen to Hollywood headliners know him by his first name, and a meal here is not to be missed, not only for the innovative upscale Mediterranean dishes and thoughtful wine list, but also for the dreamy seafront setting and candlelit tables on a little pier jutting into the bay.

  • 2. Tholos

    $

    The go-to taverna for the islanders, Tholos is nestled in the pine forest spilling down from the temple of Afaia on the road down to Ayia Marina. The wonderful views through the trees down to the sea are complemented by the flavorsome rustic dishes served at this establishment. Meat grilled to your taste is the staple here. The veal in a rich herby tomato sauce with macaroni is another favorite, and most of the vegetables are either home grown or locally sourced.

    Agia Marina, Aegina, Greece
    22970-32129

    Known For

    • Authentic Greek village fare
    • Warm friendly service
    • Family run
  • 3. Tsagkaris Hydriot Macaroons

    $

    Don't leave Hydra without some traditional almond macaroons in your suitcase. The Tsagkaris family, led by octogenarian matriarch Anna Tsagkari, have been lovingly making them in their workshop for more than 70 years.

    Miaouli, Hydra Town, Hydra, 18040, Greece
    22980-52314

    Known For

    • Traditional Greek sweets
    • Cakes and deserts
    • Almond macaroons
  • 4. Vatzoulias

    $$

    Ask a local to name the best restaurant in Aegina, and the response is invariably Vatzoulias. In summer the garden is a pleasant oasis, scented with jasmine and honeysuckle; in winter, nestle inside the cozy dining room to dine on expertly prepared taverna classics. Eggplant in garlic sauce or zucchini croquettes are can't-go-wrong starters. Continue with a dish such as veal in red sauce; thick, juicy grilled pork chops; or moussaka, oven-baked eggplant and potatoes with ground meat enlivened with cinnamon and a wonderfully fluffy béchamel. In winter try the hare stew. A 10-minute walk from Aegina Town center gets you to this rustic taverna where only dinner is served, and only on four evenings a week, usually Wednesday and weekends.

    Aphaias 75, Aegina Town, Aegina, 18010, Greece
    22970-22711

    Known For

    • Rustic dishes
    • A favorite with locals
    • Wholesome village feel

    Rate Includes: Closed Mon., Tues., and Thurs. No lunch, No credit cards, Reservations essential
  • 5. Antonis

    $$

    Seafood is the word at this famed taverna run by Antonis and his sons, and the octopus grilled in front of the establishment lures bathers and other visitors who tuck into options ranging from teeny fried smelt to enormous lobsters. People-watching is as much of a draw as the food, since the tables afford a view of all the comings and goings of the harbor's small boats as well as some sleek yachts. Other than splurging on the bouillabaisse here (expect to pay around €50 euros per kilo for sole, mullet, grouper—you name it), most dishes here, such as the veal and onions or briam ("vegetables in the oven") rarely exceed €12.

    Perdika, Attica, 18010, Greece
    22970-61443

    Known For

    • Catch of the day from local fishermen
    • Great harbor-front location
    • Friendly service

  • 6. Thymari

    $

    On the main road behind the port, the location is the only minor drawback of this traditional Greek taverna. But balancing this out, you can also dine in the pretty courtyard at the back (if you find a table). The seafood platter is something to write home about and includes a couple of ultra fresh fried fish. The menu is extensive, usually not a good sign, but everything is not only delectable but also caringly presented.

    Afaias Ave, Agia Marina, Aegina, 180 10, Greece
    22970-32859

    Known For

    • Fresh seafood
    • Great service
    • Kids' menu
  • 7. To Geitoniko

    $$

    Christina and Manolis, the former owners, have now passed the baton to their son Constantinos, who has modernized the home-style Greek dishes served here, in his traditional old Hydriot house with stone floors and wooden ceilings, where time seems to have been standing still since the 1950s. If it's available, try the fresh fish that is prepared to perfection. It's a good idea to arrive before 9 pm for dinner; there are only 20 tables under the open-air vine-covered pergola upstairs, and they fill up quickly.

    Spiliou Harami, Hydra Town, Hydra, 18040, Greece
    22980-53615

    Known For

    • Popular with the discerning locals
    • Cool roof terrace dining
