Maria's Pizza

Skiathos Town


Islanders rave about the very genuine Italian cuisine at lively, colourful and central Maria's, where red-check tables dot the street, menus are handwritten and plates are set into sun-yellow walls. The pizzas (some with local touches like feta) are the thing to go for, but there are also salads galore and superb pastas, such as with shrimps and ouzo cream.
