1. Castello Bar and Restaurant
$$$ | |Set right on Mikro Kamini, a leisurely 15-minute walk from the port (or 5 minutes by mule or couple of minutes by water taxi), this fully renovated 18th-century fortress is a popular bar-restaurant offering some of the most fortifying dining on the island. Castello is the only place where you can find sushi, or if you are craving a snack, try the catch of the day served with wild greens and saffron. Its multilevel café serves breakfast, coffee, drinks, and snacks and is the ideal spot for enjoying Hydra sunsets over the best apple martini on the island. Renting a sun bed for the day on the beach right in front of Castello will set you back €5.
Hydra, 18040, Greece22980-54101Known For
- Gourmet Mediterranean food
- Stunning views from the old fortress
- Sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere

2. Enalion
$$ | |The charming young trio of owners—Yiannis, Kostas, and Alexandros—have imbued this beach taverna just 100 feet from Vlichos Beach with energy and attentive service. The traditional taverna fare includes favorite Greek dishes like ntakos, prawn linguine, and lively salads, which all go perfectly with a glass of house wine or a cold beer. The all-white surroundings (with cool-blue undertones) contrast gloriously with the injection of color from the surrounding pink bougainvillea. At the back of the taverna, you will find the headquarters of the Hydra Diving Center.

3. Omilos
$$$ | |This spot where Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas once danced is a vision in minimalist island stone and white. The restaurant/bar is set in the high-ceilinged Hydra Nautical Club and the deck outside, which affords an exquisite sea view. Gourmet sefood dishes, and lively salads are the light standards that will help ensure you keep the energy levels up if you choose to stay on and dance the night away as the night time revelry kicks in and cocktails start flowing

4. 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, Greece22970-32129Known For
- Authentic Greek village fare
- Warm friendly service
- Family run
-
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, Greece22970-61443Known For
- Catch of the day from local fishermen
- Great harbor-front location
- Friendly service

6. Isalos Cafe
$ | |This harbor-front establishment has something for everyone. Service starts in the morning with coffee, juices, and breakfast, then on to brunch, lunch, and snacks, extending into the evening and night time with easy dining, drinks, and cocktails. Tea lovers rejoice! Isalos has you covered with a range of high quality and properly prepared Oriental and European beverages.

7. Kai Kremmidi (And Onion)
$ | |No Greek experience is complete without a quick gyro pita on the hoof. And if that's what you're after pop into Kai Kremmidi for the best of that ilk on Hydra. Also try the tasty lahmacun, an Arabic-style mini pizza with spiced mince meat and a dash of lemon. It's located a couple of blocks up from the harbor.
Andrea Papandreou & Topazi Street, Hydra Town, Hydra, Greece22980-53099Known For
- Souvlaki
- Quick service
- Good location
-
8. Kiriakakis
$$ | |This seafront taverna, the oldest and most established one in Ayia Marina, has been here since 1950, when Kyriakos Haldaios brought out a gas stove and started frying fish and fries under the pine trees for local sunbathers. Today, it is owned by his grandson, also named Kyriakos, and offers traditional Greek specialties like moussaka, the famous dish of layered eggplant and ground meat, and plenty of fresh fish, especially gilthead and sea bass. In the summer these are served in the spacious veranda overlooking the crystal-blue waters.

9. Mourayo
$$ | |This highly regarded restaurant and music "boit" is right on the water in Dapia and is the all-time classic bar and nightclub of Spetses (running since 1975). The food in the restaurant is pretty decent, too, and it's probably one of the better choices on the island. Lounge in the veranda's comfy armchairs surrounded by maritime antiques and savor the predominantly Mediterranean cuisine and cool cocktails, accompanied by piano music and a romantic view of the yachts moored in the quaint old port.
Spetses Town, Spetses, 18050, Greece22980-73700Known For
- Live music (piano) every night
- Very good service
- Dining alfresco on a seafront terrace
-
10. O Skotadis
$$ | |Since 1945 O Skotadis has been serving a large selection of mezedes for starters and mostly fresh fish mains (a good option is the fried katsoula fish, cleaver wrasse), usually to be accompanied by ouzo, the classic Greek anise drink. See if you can snag a table (reservations are best) on the second-floor terrace with its panoramic view of Aegina's harbor. Don't forget to try the large fresh salad with caper leaves.
Dimokratias Ave. 46, Aegina Town, Aegina, 18010, Greece22970-24014Known For
- Super fresh local fish
- Prime harbor-front location
- Great views

11. Patralis
$$ | |Sit on the waterside veranda and savor seafood mezedes and fresh fish right from the sea in one of the more affordable restaurants on this sometimes overpriced (for Greece) island. As the very friendly waiters will tell you, the house specialties are the fish soup, astakomakaronada (lobster with spaghetti), and a kind of paella with mussels, shrimp, and crayfish. Magirefta (oven-baked dishes) include stuffed aubergines; oven-baked lamb; and roast scarpine fish with tomato and garlic. Expect to pay around €50 per kilo for the fresh grilled fish (compared to €60 in other fish tavernas). The chef makes a mean baked apple for dessert, but before you order, know that mini portions of baklava, karydopita, and spoon sweets with yogurt are on the house.

12. Pelaisos
$$ | |One of the oldest tavernas on the busy harbor strip of Aegina Town, Pelaisos is now in the capable hands of Vagelis, the third generation. His father still cooks in the morning, preparing such homey dishes of the day as stuffed zucchini, usually locally sourced, but fresh fish is the mainstay of this old-school establishment, from affordable grilled sardines to the more expensive sea bass or mullet priced by the kilo. Another thing to try (also by the kilo) is the very drinkable retsina wine that has long been enjoyed, along with the food, by the island's renowned artistic community.
Dimokratias Ave. 41, Aegina Town, Aegina, Greece22970-23897Known For
- Great fish and seafood
- Popular with locals and Athenians alike
- Homegrown vegetables
-
13. Pitsi's Coffee & Food
$ | |Burgers, club sandwiches, wraps, and fresh salads are the headliners on Pitsi's simple menu, all of which can be eaten in or taken away as you continue your meandering exploration around Aegina Town. You can also pop in for a quick coffee, smoothie, or freshly sqeezed juice.
2, Aiantos, Aegina Town, Aegina, Greece22970-25250Known For
- Fast food
- Great coffee
- Quick, friendly service

14. Souvlucky
$ | |The owners of this spot are as unapologetic about the bad pun in their name as they are about the super tasty souvlaki they dish out. Order traditional gyro or souvlaki wrapped in a lighly grilled pita bread, to eat in or take out. They even cater to vegetarians, with haloumi, fresh summer veggies, or mushrooms wrapped in pita bread.
Spetses Town, Spetses, 180 50, Greece22980-29473Known For

15. Stelios Restaurant
$ | |You don't get the swish, trendy, and inventive modern island styles here, what you do get though is a traditional Greek taverna with swift service and good value for your money, which more than make up for a lack of atmosphere. Pass up the grilled dishes for the goat slowly cooked in a clay pot and oven-roasted potatoes lightly flavored with lemon and oregano. Not to be missed: the small homemade cheese pies for starters and the fried kalamari.
Spetses Town, Spetses, 18050, Greece22980-73748Known For
- Inexpensive and decent food
- Great location, in the heart of Spetses's buzzy waterfront strip

16. Tenekedakia
$ | |Fast food all over Greece usually consists of souvlaki or gyro wrapped in a pita and that is available at Tenekdakia, but this spot also has the added draw of being in a superb harbor-front location. The pork gyro is crispy yet juicy and the pita is also stuffed full with fries, onion, tomato, and cooling tzatziki. By the way, if you're missing spicey heat (rarely found in Greek food) make sure to ask for a generous sprinkling of tongue tingling hot red pepper.

17. 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, Greece22970-32859Known For

18. 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, Greece22980-53615Known For
- Popular with the discerning locals
- Cool roof terrace dining
- Tasty Greek food

19. Tsias
$$ | |For a light bite, try this harborside ouzeri restaurant, a hangout for locals as well as tourists, where warm yellow walls are decorated with stencils. Except for the 30 varieties of ouzo, everything is homemade, including palate-pleasing Vouta Vouta (Dip Dip), a dish of shrimp and spicy sauce, and the real don't-miss dishes: custom omelets for breakfast and baked apple in cognac. Reservations are recommended in the evening during the summer months.
