Reasonable prices, friendly staff. This site and app let me do all the planning for our 15 day trip in a little over 6 hours! Wanderlog makes planning a trip so effortless. Exactly what I needed to plan a trip.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind after a day at the beach. Kostas Taverna in Agia Galini is a delightful spot that promises an unforgettable culinary experience. Sit back and enjoy the sunset as you eat your evening meal.

But don’t expect the meal of your life — you’re paying for the scenery, and that’s okay. A good taverna meal runs €15-25 per person, and budget meals (souvlaki, bakeries, market food) cost €3-8. The ingredients are better, the prices are lower, and the experience of sharing a dozen meze plates with friends at 10 PM on a warm evening is just… hard to replicate. It features a beautiful terrace, with sea view, radiates a Cretan atmosphere and it is traditionally and comfortably furnished with care. 9-10 PM for the authentic Greek experience — the atmosphere, the crowd, the energy all peak. Hotel rooftop with refined dining and the kind of Acropolis view that makes your dinner partner go quiet for a moment.

Q What days are Kosta’s Taverna open?

Great food, awesome atmosphere and great service! Probably the nicest spot to eat around here, if we’re being honest about it. This family-run taverna is not just a restaurant—it’s a slice of traditional Greek life, where food, friendship, and love for the island come together. When visiting the beautiful island of Corfu, one of the most unforgettable experiences is enjoying authentic Greek food by the sea.

Dress a bit nicer, expect higher prices, and accept that the €6 cappuccino is part of the experience. Better food, lower prices, and nobody trying to drag you inside from the street. Great for a dinner that stretches into drinks, then more drinks. If someone is standing on the street aggressively trying to seat you, that’s your cue to walk in the opposite direction. I wouldn’t plan a special dinner here, but for quick bites between sightseeing, it’s perfect.

Better value than most seafood restaurants in Plaka, where fish prices can spiral quickly. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just good food at reasonable prices for this neighborhood. Long-standing taverna with Acropolis views and notably better food than most view-restaurants.

Best Budget Meals#

Go for sunset drinks, take the photos, soak it in. But let me tell you — that view is genuinely incredible, especially at sunset. Yes, the food is secondary to the view. The classic Acropolis view restaurant.

This tiny place is my favorite budget find in Plaka. The walk uphill filters out most tourists — by the time you’ve climbed the steps, you’ve earned your meal and escaped the crowds. Go where Greeks are eating at 9-10 PM. Weekends meant a freddo cappuccino and maybe a koulouri from a street cart. Dinner runs €15-25/person at honest places. Go in the morning for the full experience.

Eating by Style#

The higher you get from the main tourist drag, the better the food gets and the lower the prices drop. Dionysos Zonar’s if the view is what matters most. Earlier if you want a quieter meal or you have kids who can’t wait that long.

Walk through the fish market, the meat hall, the produce stalls — it’s noisy, it’s intense, and it’s the most authentic slice of daily Athenian life you’ll find. Walk 10 minutes south from the Acropolis and your food budget stretches 30% further. Here’s my honest guide to where to eat in Athens — organized by neighborhood, because in this city, location determines everything.
