Silver Shore

Tripoli


Tripoli's best seafood is found here in an elegant dining room with views over the water. The very courteous and professional staff will guide you through what's available, which includes an excellent array of fishy mezze and select-your-own catch of the day. They specialise in whole fish bathed in a tangy tahini sauce. Delicious.
