One of Nafplio's most long-standing stalwarts rises above its location overlooking the port car park. It's got a friendly boss, old-school atmosphere and a decent mixture of locals and visitors. Seafood is a speciality: bypass the menu and ask what they've got fresh that morning. Whether it's octopus, prawns, shellfish or fish…delicious!
