  • 1. Akrogialia

    $$

    Enjoy a meal at this down-to-earth—well, almost in the sea—Greek taverna. As the beach location would suggest, seafood dominates the simple menu, and it is prepared to perfection by the chef. After settling and ordering a cool refreshment and a couple of meze, head to the kitchen to handpick your fish (as with any fish taverna in Greece, make sure you get a price per kilo for each type to avoid any surprises). The only music here is the rhythmical waves bursting over chiming pebbles.

    Anargirou, Spetses Town, Spetses, 18050, Greece
    22980-74749

    Known For

    • Fresh fish
    • Superb location
    • Sea views
  • 2. 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.

  • 3. Kodylenia's Taverna

    $$$

    Kodylenia's Taverna looks like a whitewashed fisherman's cottage on a promontory overlooking the little harbor of Kamini, with a veranda terrace charmingly set with folkloric pennants and communal tables—it's the perfect perch to catch some sublime sunsets. It is also an irresistibly alluring (if a little pricey) place that has enraptured town folk and off-duty billionaires alike. When there, peek into the kitchen below the terrace to see what's cooking: a whole fish may be chargrilling and, when available, order kritamos (rock samphire), the urchin salad, or share an order of fresh-caught grilled squid in tomato sauce.

  • 4. 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, Greece
    22970-24014

    Known For

    • Super fresh local fish
    • Prime harbor-front location
    • Great views
  • 5. 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.

  • 6. 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, Greece
    22970-23897

    Known For

    • Great fish and seafood
    • Popular with locals and Athenians alike
    • Homegrown vegetables
  • 7. 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
  • 8. 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.

    Dimokratias Ave. 47, Aegina Town, Aegina, 18010, Greece
    22970-23529

    Known For

    • Good friendly service
    • Tasty and inventive Greek fare
