Pantheon 1900

Evia


A chic, moodily lit reinvention of a handsome neoclassical building by the water, with snappy service, a buzzy atmosphere and bottles towering up to the ceiling. This smart bar-restaurant stocks local Evia wines to enjoy alongside creative salads and pastas, Italian cheese platters and other elegantly prepped Mediterranean-influenced dishes.
