Most Greek tavernas are relaxed about children in a way that British restaurants are not, but a few places on Skiathos go further and actively make it easy.
Taverna Maistrali at Agia Paraskevi has a play area below the veranda, so you can eat while keeping an eye on them β the single most useful feature on this list, and rare enough on the island to be decisive. Taverna Sklithri puts tables directly on the sand. La Cucina di Maria and the souvlaki counters cover the child who will not eat anything unfamiliar.
Practical note: Greek dinner runs late and kitchens are busiest after 21:00. Eating before 20:00 gets you faster service and a calmer room.
Reopened after two years dark and immediately climbed to #7 on the island. Valley views, staff in traditional dress, and a kitchen that is trying hard.
A fish taverna literally on the water's edge, looking across to the Bourtzi. Busy with locals as well as visitors, which is the compliment that matters.
A family taverna at Agia Paraskevi since 2001, with homemade Greek cooking, a strong wine list and β decisively for some β a children's play area below the veranda.
Family-owned taverna and cocktail bar opposite bus stop 16. Al fresco dining under vine leaves, live music, and traditional Greek dishes given a modern turn.
Homemade Italian in a courtyard shaded by a huge mulberry tree, walls covered in murals. Generous portions, proper pizza, and one of the island's best gluten-free offerings.
Tall columns and an unapologetically ancient-Greek theme that could have been naff and instead comes off classy and warm. Solid cooking behind the concept.
A three-venue beach operation at Nostos Village β taverna, beach bar and main bar β with waiter service to the sunbeds and a boat shuttle to the Old Port.
A family taverna on the side street opposite the National Bank, with garden dining or an air-conditioned room β and a genuinely modern commercial setup behind it.
Running since 1975 in a beachside spot at Troulos. Long-established and pleasant, but the ratings suggest it is coasting on position.
