Faros Tavern

Unpretentious, authentic to-die-for seafood tavern. We found this place from Google reviews - sort of an inception isn't it? On our way to Zagori in northern Greece we were looking for a place to stay. November isn't the typical month when you crave seafood, so I was a little sceptical when my partner suggested Faros. I was so wrong. In Faros we had some of the best seafood ever! The area is famous for shrimp and cheese (pecorino and gruyere). The shrimp was so good we ordered it again. Really - the shrimp is so good that I ll struggle to enjoy another shrimp again. The fried fish (Koutsomoures - sort of like red mullet) was so tasty that I can't understand what sort of sorcery goes into making it. My wife's origins are from an island and the fried fish there is nowhere near as good. If the above doesn't impress you, then the view will end up being a mental picture registered forever in your brain. A place right by the sea. Families playing with their children on the pebbles, sunshine, sea, food. An oasis in the middle of nowhere. The service in Faros cannot be improved. The very polite owner, together with the staff that gave us drinks, dessert and coffee for free just adds up to the overall experience.

Faros Tavern - A Dining Experience Like No Other! I had the pleasure of dining at Faros Tavern recently, and it was an experience I'll never forget. The setting is breathtaking—imagine enjoying a magnificent sunset while watching the subtle waves literally next to you. It's the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal. Our group ordered shrimp, koutsomoura, kalamari, gavros, and mussels. The seafood fare is local and fresh out of the water. The shrimp and gavros, in particular, are the tastiest I've ever eaten, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried was a symphony of flavors, beautifully combining the aroma of the sea and land. For our vegetarian dishes, we had horiatiki salad, fried eggplants, and zucchini with skordalia. The flavors were explosive and exceeded everyone's expectations. The locally produced dry white wine was a perfect complement to our seafood feast. The menu is very reasonably priced and offers a great selection of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, along with an excellent variety of wines and spirits. The staff at Faros Tavern are friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The owner personally greeted us and thanked us for our business, which added a lovely personal touch to the evening. To top off our meal, we were treated to a complimentary platter of watermelon by the patron. It was a refreshing and delightful end to a perfect evening. You can't say you experienced Greece if you fail to have a dining experience at Faros Tavern! If you're in the area, I highly recommend Faros Tavern for its exceptional food, great prices, stunning views, and warm hospitality. My family and I will most certainly be back. I truly believe once you have that magical dining experience, so will you!
