Taverna Akrogiali

Prominent in Agios Ioannis’ central row of seafood restaurants, Akrogiali is a favourite with day-trippers from Volos, who love dishes such as rizi tou psara (seafood risotto, or a Greek version of paella; €9). Owner Apostolos says 'our food is honest'; it's cooked by the matriarch, Elefteria, and realistically priced.
