Maritsas

Sit out on the pavement at this traditional, low-profile taverna and enjoy simple and delicious Greek cuisine. Don’t miss the delectable kolokithokeftedes (courgette fritters).
Meat Market Restaurant

Everything’s made from the market wares of the day, and it’s open ’til dawn. Clubbers head here after long nights.
Melina

This pink-and-gilt shrine to late Greek actress and national heroine Melina Mercouri was once her favourite café.
Mezedopoleio To Steki, Aegina

Located near the fish market, you can always be sure there will be good seafood here, accompanied by ouzo.
Moita, Hydra

Light, creative Mediterranean cuisine in a lovely courtyard. The focus is on seafood, but don’t miss the delicious pears poached in wine for dessert.
Mommy

This small, diverse bar and restaurant takes over the neighbouring pavements at weekends as patrons spill out, drinks in hand.
Monopoleio Athinon

Light and modern taverna fare, often with live rembetika at weekends.
Mykinaiko

Simple but flavourful classics – stuffed cabbage leaves and aubergine (eggplants) and savoury moussaka – at a small, family-run spot near the ancient site. Once again, don’t miss the deep, dark red local Nemean wine.
Neon

Open-top jeeps and motor-bikes pull up outside this vast bar-nightclub, with white leather armchairs on three levels and industrial air conditioning to keep the atmosphere just right.
O Brettos

The walls here are lined with hundreds of bottles of homemade, brilliantly coloured liquors that glow like stained-glass windows. The drinks are good, too.
