Avaton in full

Avaton sits on Tzaneria beach ten minutes from Skiathos Town, styled as a classy Mediterranean beach bar-restaurant with house and electronica playing through the day and a young crowd to match. Its Facebook page carries around 3,490 likes.

Its Tripadvisor rating is 2.9, ranked #295 of 299 restaurants on the island. That is the lowest position of anything in this guide, and it sits alongside one of the largest social followings — a combination that appears nowhere else here.

The complaints are specific and consistent: sunbed pricing, drink pricing and service. The gap between how well this venue markets itself and how people rate it after visiting is the widest we found. Go for the music and the setting with your eyes open, and check prices before you sit down.
