Marmita

Top choice in Skiathos Town


Twirls of greenery and soothing background music mingle with cheese-grater lamps, olive-oil baskets and candlelit tables in this tranquil, standout courtyard restaurant off upper Papadiamanti. From avocado-chicory salads, vegan mousakas (baked layers of aubergine or courgettes and potatoes) and mushroom-stuffed ravioli to succulent grilled meats and sea bass en papillote, Marmita's Greek-Mediterranean flavours are elegantly creative delights. Bread arrives in wooden boxes, and there are good Greek wines.

The team also runs Skiathos Town's Bourtzi tapas/wine bar.
