Taverna O Theodorakis

Corinth doesn’t have much going for it in the way of restaurants, but Theodorakis does a decent job with seafood, especially sardines and calamari.
Taverna Paleo Archontiko

Housed in an old mansion, this family-run favourite is usually packed with locals. Nafpliotes go for the excellent rooster cooked in wine, pork stew or rabbit with tomato sauce.
Taverna Porto

This waterfront taverna makes a good stop after a day of swimming. Feast on large plates of cheap, tasty local seafood.
Taverna Rozalia

Hipsters and locals flock to this pleasant, family-owned mezedopoleion. It has a cosy, wood-beamed interior that’s ideal for winter and a courtyard for lazy summer nights.
Taverna Vakhos

Though Delphi’s sites and scenery are fantastic, the same cannot be said for its culinary offerings. This family-run establishment is the exception. It cooks good taverna fare accompanied by views across the Corinthian Gulf.
Thanassis

Athens’ most famous souvlaki joint has been serving up hot, juicy, thinly sliced beef, slathered with cool garlicky tzatziki, wrapped in tender pittas, since the 19th century.
To Ouzadiko

Hidden away in an arcade in Kolonaki’s heart, this eatery is renowned for its traditional mezes, fresh fish and impressive collection of spirits.
To Tristato

The old-world atmosphere – all potted palms, portraits and pink swags – might almost distract you entirely from the prime reason for coming here: the spectacular pastries and mountain teas.
To Varoulko

The menu at Athens’ top fish restaurant changes daily depending on what the sea brings forth. Sleek modern wood-and-glass interior.
To Varoulko

Relocated from Piraeus to Gazi in 2005, To Varoulko is widely acknowledged for serving the best seafood in Athens. Chef Lefteris Lazarou has been awarded a Michelin star. (see To Varoulko)
