Amfiliki Pension Tavern in full
Amfiliki is up near the acropolis end of town, and the payoff is a wide view over the sea to the neighbouring islands. It is quieter than the harbourfront and feels more like a discovery than a destination, which is part of the appeal.
What makes it interesting is the menu, which is more adventurous with fish than almost anywhere else in Skiathos. Cold skate with parsley and onion salad, swordfish done the house way, and monkfish in a spicy red sauce are the signature dishes — the kind of cooking that rewards diners who want to eat beyond grilled bream and calamari.
The ratings are the weakest of the town's view restaurants: 4.2 on Google and Restaurant Guru, 3.9 on Tripadvisor. The reviews split cleanly. The positive camp praises the view, the prompt service and the value. The negative camp reports bland or poorly cooked dishes at prices they felt were high. That inconsistency is the honest headline.
Worth it if you are curious about the unusual fish dishes and relaxed about the outcome. If you want a guaranteed result, Agnadio or Scala are the safer view options.
